Between 1492 and 1600, 90% of the indigenous population in the Americas died. That means about 55 million people, or 10% of the world's population at that time. Lest we forget.

Elizabeth Warren

We will share with our brothers that which we have taken from the earth that the Great Spirit gave us." And the settlers said: "No thanks heathens. We'd rather take it from you."

Phrases that include “the future is native,” “weaponize privilege,” and more flash across. “Sneaking out, jumping over backyard fences/Sneaking out, jumping over backyard fences/We’re all just lookin’ for freedom,” John Gourley sings alongside a drum beat. Yankovic takes the second verse, as animation of a wolf appears over him: “I got an appetite for livin’ but this life is gonna eat me alive.” “This song is about fences and what they represent,” Gourley tells Rolling Stone. “They say barbed wire was the death of the cowboy. The end of the open range and pastures. Colonists came and sectioned up the land and we, along with their ancestors, continued to do that. We need to break down these walls. Music and art have always been a connector for us. We spent the past few years doing land acknowledgments on four different continents and we made a lot of friends. People with amazing perspective and talent. With the lyrical content, it just made sense to call and ask for their help.” Land acknowledgments are formal statements at the beginning of events acknowledging that they are taking place on land that was once inhabited by indigenous people.... www.rollingstone.com
