TOM WILSON (TEHOHÁHAKE) RELEASES NEW SINGLE “WE LIVE IN DREAMS” CO-WRITTEN WITH TANYA TALAGA

Celebrated Canadian musician, author, and visual artist Tom Wilson (Tehoháhake) announces the release of his new single “We Live In Dreams,” co-written with award-winning journalist, storyteller, and filmmaker Tanya Talaga.

The song is featured in the powerful new documentary ‘Ni-Naadamaadiz: Red Power Rising’ (trailer HERE), directed by Shane Belcourt and produced by Talaga’s company Makwa Creative. The film features an original score composed and performed by Tom Wilson and his son Thompson Wilson, marking a continued father–son collaboration that blends emotional ambient depth with musical craft. Audiences experienced the documentary and heard the full score for the first time when the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last week.

“We Live In Dreams” captures the spirit of the documentary’s message—celebrating Indigenous resilience, identity, and the strength of community—while also standing alone as a poignant musical statement from one of Canada’s most compelling voices.

“We are here to give everything we’ve got to honour the warrior hearts who have dodged bullets, cut through razor wire and thrown their lives on the line to free the spirit of our people.

We are here to create art to fight the hate and the violence towards our people that does not mingle in the news cycle and has conveniently escaped our history books.

We are here to tell the truth because it’s too easy to listen to lies.

We are here to stand for love and we are here to win with love.”

– Tom Wilson Tehoháhake
