Wyatt C. Louis is a Plains Cree singer-songwriter from Montana First Nation on Treaty 6 Territory, Alberta. Their songs are deeply rooted in story and place, and speak to universal themes of home, family, and love. Their much-celebrated debut album Chandler (2024) draws from multiple musical influences, but sits comfortably in the folk/roots genre. The album was long-listed for the 2025 Polaris Music Prize, and was a 2025 Juno Award nominee for "Album Artwork of the Year" (Erik M. Grice and Vanessa Heins).

This conversation was taped at the University of British Columbia, on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam people.
