They told the Wright Brothers to fly was impossible. They told the settlers to live in a wild land was impossible. Now they told Columbus to sail across the ocean was impossible. And I told that boy last night that nothing is impossible. Before I jump this motorcycle over these 19 cars - and I want you to know there's not a Volkswagen or a Datsun in the row - before I sail cleanly over that last truck, I want to tell you that last night a kid came up to me and he said, "Mr Knievel, are you crazy? That jump you're going to make is impossible, but I already have my tickets because I want to see you splatter." That's right, that's what he said. It is truly an honor to risk my life for you. Ladies and gentlemen, you have no idea how good it makes me feel to be here today.

It is our goal to constantly adjust our organizational structures and modes of storytelling to create inclusive, mindful spaces, and better represent Indigenous peoples in the mainstream. We envision a group of like-minded Indigenous artisans and accomplices who seek to continually develop our collaborative approaches to modern artistic, storytelling and film production processes. Additionally, several members are experienced in academic and administrative foci and have supported the on-going coordination of our business and logistical practices. Each member of the Collective has independently had successes in the music, visual arts, film, media arts, fashion, craft and theatre arts fields. We are currently working to further formalize our structure, moving to reflect the more traditional consensus-based structures of our communities past. Each new member has been an asset to each of the projects and works to support our future work. As the scale and scope of each project grew, we have continued to explore and expand our membership to incorporate new skills and relationships. Utilizing close friend and familial ties, we quickly began to self-produce our own Indigenous content modern, contemporary content.

The video is an adaptation of a poem by Rogers of the same name. This journey mirrors a reality not unlike Indigenous current experiences with respect to constant colonial resistances where coming to terms with lost cultural distinction is fast becoming the new culture, of today/tomorrow. Featuring two distinct and intrinsically connected worlds, we witness a spiritual journey so thinly tethered to life familiar, being lured by dark matters towards total disconnect. Monologue Harmonic is a seemingly paradoxical visual and sonic offering speaking in part from legend, despotic visions, collective cultural analysis, and individual repeal. to share Monologue Harmonic, a video poem produced by Janet Marie Rogers and Bawaadan Collective.
