Scott Kalama, known artistically as "Blue Flamez," is a proud member of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and a dynamic hip-hop artist.

By day, Scott Kalama serves as a certified prevention specialist, guiding youth and spreading awareness about substance abuse. His musical alter ego, Blue Flamez, channels his experiences and convictions into his art, advocating for Native rights and empowerment through songs like "Warrior."

His music, at first glance, fits the hip-hop mold with its rapid-fire rap, electronic beats, and memorable hooks. Yet, it's the substance of Blue Flamez's lyrics that sets him apart, rooted in his upbringing on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. His track "Rez Life" not only resonates with his heritage but also earned him a Native American Music Award in 2016.

Blue Flamez's verses are a powerful homage to Native American heritage, confronting historical wounds and the ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous communities, including his own.

Now, with a platform to share his unique perspective and inspiring messages, Kalama is poised to reach and uplift a broader audience with his music.

About

Four Rivers Cultural Center is a 501(c)3 nonprofit located in the Western Treasure Valley, Ontario Oregon.  We are an 85,000 sq foot facility that is home to a performing arts theater, museum, Japanese garden, rotating art gallery and conference and rental facility.  Our mission and belief are that every individual should have access to the transforming power of culture, because of that belief, we provide them at the lowest cost or free.  We bring people to learn from one another and challenge the idea that our differences separate us. We do this through four tenets of our programming; Inspire, Preserve, Serve and Inform.

INSPIRE: Through an ethnically diverse presentation of arts, inspire & involve our community in transcending formed opinions, finding hope and meaning, and experiencing rich cultural expression.

PRESERVE: Hold and tell the stories of the heritage(s) that shaped and are shaping our region and nation.  Events will invite community members to participate in authentic stories of heritage & history and celebrate the important contributions each group has made.

SERVE: To intentionally use our space, skills, programming, and relationships to tackle inequities in our community.  Creating growth, education and empowerment for all peoples.  Seeking collaboration for the highest good of who we serve.

INFORM: To provide quality educational opportunities to the community and schools, filling the gap in special learning experiences in art, history, and diversity.  Present a wide array of forums and information creating connections with and for our community so they can engage in new viewpoints.
