[REPORTER]\u00a0 \u201cO-si-o, I\u2019m Micah Fletcher with NextGen Radio Indigenous in Stillwell, Oklahoma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ella Mounce has had opportunities some college Freshman would not have, she sang to audiences in her native Cherokee across Oklahoma.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And one of her \u201cproudest\u201d moments was singing the National Anthem at a Hockey game with the Tulsa Oilers\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[ELLA]:\u00a0 It really started around seventh grade when I joined the Cherokee National Youth Choir and I was able to start learning my language a lot more and it got me a lot more into that musical scene\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My name is Ella Mounce and home to me is my family.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I grew up in Stilwell, Oklahoma, in a small native community called Cherry Tree.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My parents say that I’ve been singing since I was three. And I did grow up in a very musical, artistic household.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I feel like they’re very proud of me, which I’m very thankful for because I know some parents are not as supportive. But <\/span>they’re very proud of me and they’ve let me know and I’m very happy about that.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They told me about the Cherokee National Youth Choir opportunity in which that has been something that’s also kind of in a way become my home because those people who I was around so much they became my family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And so, learning that language and instilling that into us, it became something that we all took an immense amount of pride in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When I sang in front of the first Lady it was a very surreal feeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How often do you get the chance to sing for the First Lady?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was both incredibly proud of myself for getting to that point.\u00a0 And also I was incredibly proud of the choir as a whole and the kids who were who I watched kind of grow up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My dad is really something that helps me get into that headspace of being able to practice music and being able to put my best foot forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I grew up basically at his side, at the piano, singing show tunes, gospel songs. I remember whenever I was younger he would literally just stay up for like half the night just reading to playing and singing songs out of like the Great American Songbook. And it was just it was like a kind of a bonding thing between me and him.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I did not get taught the Cherokee language when I was younger\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My grandma was the one in our family who could speak fluent Cherokee. But she wasn’t allowed to speak her language and it was very much so beaten out of her by the schools. It instilled a fear in her. She didn’t want her family to have to go through that.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve seen how our language is kind of, I don’t want to say dying, but in a way, it kind of is because people aren’t learning it. It hasn’t been passed down. Now that I’m older, I’m realizing that I really don’t want to see this language die, I want to help. And it’s I want to help see it thrive in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Home is my family, but my family is very centered in our culture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have all these aunts and uncles, but they might not be blood related, but they’re still my aunts, uncles and cousins. Almost all of them are also members of the tribe. So we all kind of bond over that culture. So like, we’ll see everybody at like powwows or stomp grounds. So I think that that’s something that also just does tie in just very closely with me being with my family.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I can’t take home with me, but I can carry the feeling. I can remember how I feel whenever I get to talk to my parents on face time or just be able to see them for like just a weekend or something like that.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s been hard, but I just kind of have to carry that feeling of home with me and remember that they’re only like a phone call away if I need them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ella, now 19, has traveled throughout the United States as a member of the Cherokee National Youth Choir, performing and recording Cherokee language renditions of music ranging from \u201cThe Star Spangled Banner,\u201d to Christian hymns, to Taylor Swift songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[The Cherokee National Youth Choir] is something that really gave me a sense of community and a sense of pride,\u201d Ella says. \u201cIt really did kick off me wanting to learn more about my language, learn more about my culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ella, now an art student at the University of Oklahoma, and away from home and family for the first time, is finding new ways to express and share the love she has for her home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ella grew up in a family of very talented musicians and singers in Cherry Tree, Oklahoma. Her father, Michael Mounce, also a singer, is her teacher and her biggest cheerleader. He inspired her to learn how to sing and play guitar.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside her explorations in new artistic mediums, Ella maintains her love for music. Her latest project is writing original songs with her best friend, Garrett Able. The duo is integrating Cherokee language into their guitar and piano focused works. They call this new genre \u201cC-Pop,\u201d a play on Korean language K-Pop.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMe and my friend were talking like, \u2018Hey, how can we get language into this new generation?\u2019\u201d Ella says. \u201cWe’re trying to throw around some ideas on how we can start incorporating music and maybe more contemporary songs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In all of Ella\u2019s creative work, she seeks to inspire a new generation of contemporary Cherokee arts and she continues to take inspiration from her first music teacher, her dad.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe is definitely proud of me,\u201d Ella says. \u201cHe tells me that he is, and I can see it in his face. I definitely try to make him proud of me in whatever I do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
