I'm from the Oneida and the Ojibwe nations, and I am Eagle Clan. When did you start playing music and start dancing? So I started dancing and telling stories from the time I was born in northern Wisconsin, in the lands of the Anishinaabe people. People where I come from, we use different parts of the animal to create very beautiful, adorned bags. What is the bag made out of? The bag is made out of deer hide.

我來自奧奈達族和奧吉布韋族，我是鷹族。你是什麼時候開始演奏音樂和跳舞的？從我出生在威斯康星州北部的阿尼西納比人的土地上時，我就開始跳舞和講故事了。在我的家鄉，我們用動物的不同部位來製作精美的裝飾袋。包是用什麼做的？包是用鹿皮做的。

This type of material that I'm wearing, the different colors, that's porcupine quills. I definitely would look at a bag like this and be like, "That person is Anishinaabe." How come some of these symbols are so important? So some of these symbols are important because they preserve culture and stories.

我身上這種不同顏色的材料是豪豬毛。我一看到這樣的包就會想："這個人是阿尼西那比人。"為什麼有些符號如此重要？這些符號之所以重要，是因為它們保存了文化和故事。

Look, there's a thunderbird, which is a symbol of power. And in Anishinaabe culture, there are different stories about thunderbirds protecting humans from things that live under the water. People tell their aunties, their cousins, their grandchildren stories.

看，這裡有一隻雷鳥，它是力量的象徵。在阿尼西納比文化中，有很多關於雷鳥保護人類 不受水下生物傷害的故事。人們會告訴他們的姨媽、表親、孫子們這些故事。

These symbols ripple out, and so everything has a meaning. How come you're wearing these clothes and why is it important to your performance? I wear this on special occasions.

這些符號盪漾開來，是以每件事都有其意義。你怎麼會穿這些衣服，為什麼這對你的表演很重要？我是在特殊場合穿的。

So today I was thinking, "Wow, I'm going to the Met, I'm going to tell these stories, I'm going to make new friends with people. I have to dress in a way where the clothes that I'm wearing feel like home to me." Out of the performance today, what was one thing that you were like, "Oh yeah"? Probably when you use the hoops, like you attach them to your body and then the colors, like the black, white, yellow, and red. They all sort of just reminded me of the bag, your culture, and how they passed it down from generation to generation. Those hoops are so cool because with that dance or story you can make symbols come to life. Thank you Ty.

所以今天我在想，"哇，我要去大都會，我要講這些故事，我要和人們交新朋友。我必須穿得讓人感覺像回到了家一樣"。在今天的表演中，有哪一件事讓你覺得 "哦耶"？可能是當你使用吊環時，比如你把它們套在身上，然後是顏色，比如黑、白、黃、紅。它們都讓我想起了包，你們的文化，以及他們是如何代代相傳的。這些套環太酷了，因為通過舞蹈或故事，你可以讓象徵栩栩如生。謝謝你，泰。
