Fish Martinez is a musician, educator, jewelry maker, and storyteller with roots in Shasta, Shasta Costa, Tututni, Modoc, Yurok, German, Mescalero Apache, and Azteca land and traditions. He has released several hip hop albums as 2 8 Tha Native, collaborating with dozens of artists to raise positive, life-affirming vibrations and celebrate the power of community, healing, and Indigeneity. 

In this So Much Together event, Fish will engage in conversations with participants about his work and ideas, sharing music, stories, and questions. Together, we will explore various aspects of imagination and collaboration, including patience, mistakes, intention, and community. At the same time, Fish will teach participants how to make their own three strand hair pipe bone necklace using fire polish, seed beads, and brain-tanned, smoked leather. In this way, we will embody the many ways we can collaborate with each other, music, stories, land, and materials.
