Thrilled to share that my book Songs of Tyva: A Guide to Tyvan Culture and Language is finally out today! In this book, I’ve gathered songs, photos of the landscapes that inspired them, and a bit of cultural and historical context to help readers better understand Tyvan culture.

I had the pleasure of connecting with Miwa and Cynthia. Miwa is part of the project soilcamp.ca I met with Ethan and Kimeona from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. What I appreciate most is the opportunity to learn about the soil, rocks, water, and the relationships that connect us all.
