Musicologist Celebrates Indigenous Stories Through Sights and Sounds

www.cmu.edu/news: Carnegie Mellon University Assistant Professor of Musicology Alexa Woloshyn is at the beginning of a three-year project looking to understand the history and future of indigenous peoples in the Pittsburgh region.

Her interdisciplinary project, "Decolonized Futures," integrates Indigenous futurist storytelling with decolonization and analyzes settler colonialist narratives. Through various media it also creates interdisciplinary narratives to envision potential decolonized futures. The project is centered in Pittsburgh, which has historically included the Haudenosaunee, Shawnee, Lenape, and Mingo nations.
