Kym Gouchie is a multidisciplinary Indigenous musician, visual artist, and playwright. She uses her gifts to tell the stories, struggles, and strengths of her ancestors, bringing awareness to Northern BC and the world through her songs and spoken words. Her passions are far reaching and include being a cultural liaison for such organizations as the Canadian Artists for Reconciliation & Education, Everyone at the Table, BC Touring Council, Prince George Folkfest Society, Ancient Forest Working Group, and the Central BC Railway and Forestry Museum. She has helped promote cultural understanding and protocols by providing Indigenous welcomes at national virtual gatherings over the past two years. She is an incredible storyteller who weaves language learnings into her music. This is demonstrated by the interactive videos she made in partnership with School District 57 that help to preserve Lheidli T’enneh history, culture, Dakelh language, and music.
