Tansi Ahniin NCI-FM Radio Network

I hope this transmission finds you, your family, and the whole NCI FM team in good health and high spirits. As a fellow Manitoba media veteran who co-produced NCI’s Friends on Friday back in the day and spent 26 years building urban Indigenous radio frequencies across Turtle Island, I am reaching out to give NCI

FM the first exclusive broadcast window for my brand new single: A Saulteaux and his Child.

Because of NCI’s foundational role in keeping First Nations

communities connected across Manitoba, we are giving NCI FM a 2-day special advance release window to premiere and feature this track before we submit it to CBC Indigenous, APTN, and national radio syndication networks later this week.

Alongside my wife, master Urban Cree artisan Andrina Clearsky (York Factory First Nation), this song serves as the flagship audio

companion single for my upcoming 4-volume multimedia manuscript,

Between Spirit and Silicon.

TRACK METADATA & BROADCAST DETAILS:

Track Title: A Saulteaux and his Child

Artist: Christopher Dean Spence (chagOOsh) — Vocals, Lyrics & Composition.

Source Work: Part I: The Poetry Collection (Between Spirit and Silicon) This work is available now as an EPUB download at https://www.betweenspiritandsilicon.com/home/pre-buy-instructions

Genre: Indigenous Spoken Word / Roots / Acoustic-Electronic Fusion

Exclusive Window: 48-Hour NCI FM Advance Premiere

MAPL / CANCON Status: 100% Indigenous Written, Composed, and Performed

(Treaty 1 / Saulteaux / YFFN)

AI TECHNOLOGY, CANCON & DATA SOVEREIGNTY STATEMENT:

Given ongoing national discussions around AI audio, copyright, and

Canadian Content (CANCON) eligibility, I want to provide complete

transparency regarding the production methodology (I have also

attached our formal ai-transparency-statement.docx for your music

director files):

Human Lyricist & Author (100% MAPL L Criterion): The lyrics and spoken

narrative are 100% human-authored, written entirely by myself

(Christopher Dean Spence, Treaty Status Saulteaux) as published in

Part I: The Poetry Collection. Zero text or lyrics were generated by

AI.

Vocal Performance & Creative Direction (100% MAPL P & A Criteria): The

primary vocal track features my own voice, cadence, and vocal

phrasing. AI audio tools (Suno Pro commercial tier) were deployed

strictly as an assistive digital studio arrangement instrument—similar

to a synthesizer or DAW sampler—directed entirely by my vocal guides

and prompts.

Indigenous Data Sovereignty & OCAP® Compliance: Produced under a paid

commercial enterprise license with 100% master ownership retained by

Chagoosh Media. This indigenizes emerging digital tools without

sacrificing cultural integrity, human authorship, or First Nations

data control.

Full CANCON Eligibility: Because core authorship, vocal performance,

lyrics, and production origin are 100% First Nations and Canadian,

this track meets full MAPL system standards for broadcast rotation.

THE STORY BEHIND THE TRACK:

Featuring my own vocal delivery with lyrics drawn directly from Part

I: The Poetry Collection, A Saulteaux and his Child is an intimate,

powerful reflection on ancestral fatherhood, intergenerational

healing, and family reunification. It speaks to the sacred bond

between an Indigenous parent and child standing resilient against

historical disruption—a message that deeply aligns with NCI FM's

mandate.

We would be honored to see A Saulteaux and his Child premiere

exclusively on NCI FM this week. I am also available for a live phone

or studio drop-in interview to discuss the track, our 7-children

family reunification journey, and 26 years of independent Indigenous

broadcast history.

Gchi-a for your decades of dedication to keeping First Nations music

and stories alive across Manitoba.

In Spirit and Sovereignty,
