Jim Barber recently spoke with Mimi O'Bonsawin who opened up about the powerful journey behind her latest single “P8GWAS,” her first-ever song in the Abenaki language.

The song is a moving tribute to her ancestral roots and a bold act of cultural reclamation through music, language, and storytelling. The conversation dives deep into identity, resistance, connection to the land, and the spiritual power of singing in one’s own language.

O’Bonsawin discusses her inspiration from Indigenous artists in Australia, the encouragement she received from the Stiff Gins, her mentorship from elders, and an emotional exchange with a New Zealand artist who called her a “warrior.” She also reflects on the challenges of releasing music in Indigenous languages in a system still dominated by colonial structures. “P8GWAS,” meaning “the moon,” is a transformed version of her earlier French song “La Lune” from her 2023 album Boréale. It is the first single from her upcoming album, which promises danceable joy, introspective songwriting, and deep cultural resonance.
