“We Are Sinixt” – Jim Boyd released October 2009. “We Are Sinxit” visits how broken
promises have never caused the love of a people to falter on their beliefs or their
dreams. A Canadian Tribe called the Sinixt made promises by the US government to stay
on their homeland during a turbulent time in American History. Then were removed by
the army against the treaty, sent to what is now Washington State, written out of
history books and labeled something they never were in an attempt to make them extinct.
The Sinixt are still very much alive today, their descendents a part of American History
still fighting for the return of their homeland. Jim Boyd is a seven time music award
