Isaac Murdoch - Revolution of the Heart

I first saw Isaac Murdoch telling his stories on Facebook, during the pandemic. A prolific and legendary Indigenous storyteller, he was so entertaining he left an indelible impression on me.

Later, during my own training and healing about the real beginnings of Canada, Isaac’s stories turned up again, during a training session as someone all of us should listen to.

Isaac is also a singer/songwriter, artist and maker.

I had the honour and privilege of having a conversation with Isaac recently, just before he attended a special event deemed Revolution of the Heart. He designed the logo.

Bomgiizhik (Isaac Murdoch) is from Serpent River First Nation. He is of the Fish Clan and is Ojibwe and has 4 beautiful children. He currently lives in the forest at Nimkii Ajj-bi kong, a indigenous community that focuses on indigenous language, art, and land based activities. Being blessed with the opportunity, Bomgiizhik grew up in the traditional setting of hunting and gathering on the land. Having spent many years learning from Elders, he spends a lot of his time as a Storyteller. Many of these stories become his visual art pieces which have become recognized world wide. Bomgiizhik is also an author and singer/songwriter who loves to make music and make books whenever he gets a chance. You will often find him on the land looking at his favorite plants or gazing into the beautiful night sky.
