For over 400 years the indigenous peoples of turtle island and so called Canada had been experiencing genocide from white settler colonization. Their own apocalypse, lasting centuries. Having been stewards of this land for tens of thousands of years, they watched powerless, as it is brought to the brink of total ecological destruction within several hundred years. After being subjugated to immense oppression and injustice, while settler culture thrives and pushes them out, a great change occurs. The balance tips back, the great spirit awakens within the children of the nations, imbuing them with the spirit world in their living forms. This is the story of what happens next.
Echthros is the project of Fort McKay First Nation member Jesse Decay. As a descendant of a survivor of the Indian Residential School System, Decay applies a modern approach to Indiegenous storytelling. Through noise, power electronics and death industrial compositions, Echthros demands attention for Indigenous resilience and resistance in the wake of the ongoing colonial violence perpetrated by the Canadian Government.
