As A Koden: Talking Story — Labor Day Community & Artistic Connection
About
IsumaTV / Official Description:
“As A Koden” — A term gifted by Leon Siu (Hawaiian External Affairs Minister) meaning “Talking Story: Who Is Your Name?”
This video begins with an acknowledgment of the Labor Day celebration in Edmonton, where the solidarity of the labor unions (including CUPE 3550 and Alberta Public Schools) is on full display. In a powerful act of community support, union members worked together to feed and care for the people, creating a space of warmth and unity.
This spirit of sharing continued through the music. We extend a special thank you to the talented female musician who generously shared her guitar with Donald Morin. This allowed for an intimate performance of a musical medley, including:
"Noam Chomsky"
"Bed on the Floor"
"Mad Dogs on the Run Sundown" (Abbreviated Version)
Being able to play again in the heart of the community was a blessing. This intersection of labor, art, and generosity is the foundation of our "Talking Story." Through these connections, we answer the question: Who is your name?
