13
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's a day of It's funny because

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: there's one side of it that's supposedly Columbus Day, right

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 3: then there's the other half of it that's Indigenous People's Day,

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: which we've been fighting to have and then fighting to

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 3: get rid of. So right now, with everything that's going on,

18
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 3: it feels good to be here and be recognized and

19
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: to be on a platform like this is just like

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: it means the world to us and to our people too.

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: A lot of our people don't get to get to

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: be on platforms like this. We come from the reservation,

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So it's a beautiful thing.

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 4: I think a lot of times we come on the

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: platforms and we're asked about the past, about the dramas

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 4: which are there. But today, you know, we want to celebrate.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 4: You know, we're here right now and we're thriving. We're

29
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: making it out of places that they didn't want us

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: to make it out of, and you know we're kicking

31
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: it on the breakfast club. You know what I mean

32
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: as artists, this is you know, this is historic. I

33
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 4: want to say that this is historic for Native music,

34
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 4: So for Native people just to be here and to

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: be able to speak on what we are today, who

36
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: we are today and just you know, represent you know,

37
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: it's a beautiful thing.

38
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 2: What is indigenous hip hop? Because people would hear that

39
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: and be like, Indigenous hip hop is the Bronx.

40
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: Yeah it.

41
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: So what you know what I mean with Native music,

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: it's just us being able to use hip hop, you know,

43
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: respectfully to tell our stories, which is like, you know,

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 4: there's people wonder like what is it like on the reservation,

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: and it's like, yeah, there's overlapping struggles that are similar

46
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 4: to like what it Because I live in Omaha, Nebraska,

47
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: and you know, I know what the hood is like,

48
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 4: and I know what the res is like, and there's

49
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 4: like so many differences that people don't even know if

50
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 4: you know, they're like be shocked that there's third world

51
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: countries an hour away from the city and all these luxuries,

52
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And that's that's where our

53
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: people come from, and we get to talk about it.

54
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 4: We need to talk about things, you know, being erased,

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 4: you know, we're not at least representation in media. People

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: think we're still living in TPS is to think that

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: we have to wear certain things to be seen. And

58
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: what we're trying to do right now through music is

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 4: just you know, like this is our story and just

60
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: hear our voices. We shouldn't have to like cut, like

61
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 4: fit an image just to be seen and in order

62
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: for people to listen, you know, listen to us and

63
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 4: hear our stories.

64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like it's it's twenty twenty five right now, and

65
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 3: people are like stuck in the romanticized version of what

66
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: natives are, right Like you have to be living in

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: a tip you got like or people don't even know

68
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: where he exist and you say indigenous hip hop It's

69
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: funny because on Saturday, we just did a indigenous hip

70
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: hop festival in the Bronx in the South Bronx, and

71
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: on Friday we met Cool Herk. He came and Cindy

72
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: Campbell came and did a talk at the Hostal Center

73
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: and I got to perform with different indigenous people from

74
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: all across the Western Hemisphere from the tips of Chile, Peru,

75
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: all the way up to Canada and me representing here.

76
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 3: So indigenous hip hop is more like, you know, we

77
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: understand that where hip hop comes from Black culture, it

78
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 3: comes from here. It comes from the roots of Africa,

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: which is tribal roots, you.

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

81
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 3: And the way we relate to it is from a

82
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 3: it's from an indigenous perspective, like we relate to the sounds,

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: relate to the storytelling, and we're bringing We're not hijacking

84
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: the culture, is what is what I want to make clear,

85
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: it's we're just adding onto it to grow the culture

86
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: and to be connected more. Because hip hop saved a

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: lot of our lives. R and B hip hop on

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: the reservations, because we heard it as the music of

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 3: the struggle, music that you could tell your story with

90
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: and that's what we're doing. You know, we're relating it

91
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: and now being able to do it with you guys,

92
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 3: with the black culture, black community. It means the world

93
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: because we've connected in ways with the American Indian Movement,

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: the Black Panthers, the Brown Berets. So doing this with

95
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: music is just another form of connection.

96
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 5: What stories are you telling in your music that, like

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 5: you think people haven't heard enough of like that you

98
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 5: want people to really get and understand.

99
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: Oh man, we want to tell them about who we

100
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: are right now.

101
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 5: I saw it, So talk about that, like, yeah, what

102
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 5: what is the image that people should have of Native

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 5: people today?

104
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: So real quick, just to get to that, like people say,

105
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 4: oh native rapper, you know, oh you're a Native rapper.

106
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 6: You're just a Native rapper. And I feel like.

107
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 4: For music, just anything Native, it's never just one thing,

108
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: Like to be a Native person in general. We always

109
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 4: speak on it, our elders speak on it. Our people

110
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 4: is walking two worlds, and I think everyone could relate

111
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 4: to that, you know what I mean, Like we walk

112
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 4: this world and we're deeply like tied to our culture,

113
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like our ways we go

114
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: to ceremonies, we do all of that, you know, like

115
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 4: we sing our traditional songs that are there. They're trying

116
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: to wipe those out. You know, there were murdering children

117
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 4: for speaking the language and singing these songs. These songs

118
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 4: made it through and we currently sing those songs today

119
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 4: in ceremony. And so we have this world where we

120
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 4: walk with our teachings, our values, you know, compassion for

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 4: each other, for people, for the land, for everything. And

122
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: then there's this other world, the mainstream world that's like, hey,

123
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: get the bag at all, cars, dog eat dog, you know,

124
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: like all that, and we have to walk these worlds.

125
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 4: And I think to be a native artist for us personally,

126
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 4: is just to put our world at the forefront and like,

127
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 4: you know, kind of navigate this world rather than trying

128
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 4: to emerge into this and just like slipping some of

129
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 4: who we are. It's being who we are and just

130
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 4: representing that. And the story would be Man, there's so much,

131
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 4: but it is. It all connects, you know once you say,

132
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 4: when you listen to our elders talk, it's always like

133
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 4: a kind of a joke where you'd be like, oh,

134
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 4: what is this, what's his drink? And then the elder

135
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 4: just start going off for like an hour and then

136
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 4: come back at the end of the hour and be like.

137
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 6: Oh, it brings me back to that, you know what

138
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 6: I mean.

139
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: But that's kind of what it is as a Native

140
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 4: artist because if you know, once we tell our story,

141
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 4: you're hearing all these you know, talking about the reds,

142
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 4: talking about just not being represented. I think the biggest

143
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: thing is just to create our own uh, just get

144
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 4: inside the door, you know, just be seen for who

145
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 4: we are as a real representation.

146
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 6: Who are Native people.

147
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: We're artists, we can sing, we could wrap, We have fashion.

148
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 4: There's so many clothing lines, you know what I mean.

149
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: There's brands, there's businesses, and right now it's booming within

150
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: the Native community. We have our own little economy that

151
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 4: we're trying to branch out into the mainstream, you know world,

152
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 4: And that's kind of where we're at.

153
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: It was.

154
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: We're just trying to like push these doors open and

155
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: knock them down to be seen so people could just

156
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: like see individual stores. Cause I mean when people say natives,

157
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 4: it'd be like, oh, what about Native people. I can't

158
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 4: tell you about all Native people, really, I can tell

159
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: you the general like, you know, everything overlaps like our teachings,

160
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: you know, saying with indigenous people across the world, but

161
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: all these you know, like he's do that.

162
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

163
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: One thing is, like I want to make clear is

164
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: that we don't represent all nations, right you know what

165
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: I mean? Like right now there's five hundred over five

166
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty different nations in this country.

167
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 6: Of those languages, that's ceremonies.

168
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: That's separate, different traditions, and we just represent our teachings

169
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,559
Speaker 3: and where we come from. But at the same time,

170
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: we are out here trying to make people understand we're here.

171
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: And then we live with y'all in the mainstream societies

172
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: and we go through the same struggles right now, we're

173
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: going through the same things right now with what's happening

174
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: in this country and what's happening to a lot of

175
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: Americans is what happened to us on reservations, rights being

176
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: taken away, censorship, your right to pray, that all happened

177
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: to us, Genocide, genocide that happened to us, It happened

178
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: to your ancestors, that happened to a lot of people's ancestors,

179
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: happened to white people's ancestors as well. And at some

180
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: point you know, we got to learn from the past

181
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: right to know our future. And this is what it's about. Man.

182
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: Like I said earlier, connection, it's about understanding each other

183
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: and being able to represent who we are in the

184
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 3: contemporary culture right now is important. You know, even my

185
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 3: own people. Last night, a couple of nights ago, a

186
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: post got shared about the indigenous hip hop festivals, like, oh,

187
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 3: we're appropriating their culture now. Somebody from from my community

188
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: said that, It's like, no, we're not appropriating, you know,

189
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: hip hop culture. We just live together. You know, why

190
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: can't we just all just live together and understand.

191
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: It's interesting.

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: I wonder what your elder is right, because I'm thinking

193
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: about how your community keeps, you know, that ancestral knowledge

194
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: and traditions alive. But how do they feel about you

195
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: using hip hop per se to do that, because you know,

196
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: it's almost like in the gospel music, they'll be like, oh,

197
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 2: don't do none of that secular music.

198
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

199
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: It's tough because I mean I don't think we fall

200
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: into the category because like if the the words that

201
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 4: we speak, you know, the lyrics we speak on some

202
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: some real ship.

203
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

204
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 4: So there's there are artists that just go out and

205
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: talk crazy, you know what I mean. And it's like,

206
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 4: you know, we're kind of like, uh, new to the game.

207
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 4: We're new to a lot of things, you know what

208
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 4: I mean, and as a people, so when we hear

209
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: like our young kids talking about some crazy things, it's like,

210
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: all right, you know, there's some better things to talk about.

211
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 6: You know, you're not really it.

212
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 4: Shouldn't be that, but but but I feel like that's

213
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 4: a lot of communities, you know what I mean.

214
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: And you're not't really busting your gun, you're not really,

215
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: we don't do that.

216
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 6: But what is crazy?

217
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 5: Though?

218
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 4: I don't I don't want to glorify this. I don't

219
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 4: think it's something to necessarily to be proud of. But

220
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: there are a lot of that those types of things

221
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 4: going on on the Reds, you know. And that's why

222
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 4: I say that overlapping things. You know, there are you know,

223
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: anything that you can think of in the Hood is

224
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: going on on the Reds as well. But you know,

225
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 4: a lot of times platforms highlight that, you know, they're

226
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: coming with cameras and be like, hey, can you show

227
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: us the hood killing poverty porn? That's that's what it is.

228
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 4: And then I'm like, hey, why don't we go over here?

229
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 4: And you see that all of this over here is

230
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: like people. You know, it's you go to the border

231
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 4: towns and next to any res and it's always the

232
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 4: most racist, right and then they tell them, hey, don't

233
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: go to the res.

234
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 6: And there's so.

235
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 4: Many crazy like stories I've heard, you know, Oh, they'll

236
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: do this to you, they'll do this. I'm like, you

237
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: know what, the Reds is probably one of the most

238
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 4: safe places you could go. You go to any house

239
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: and there's gonna be some grandmother's like ya ya, come in,

240
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: feed you. You know what I mean, Because that's it's community.

241
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: It's community that a lot of times the city and

242
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 4: people that are just a part of this mainstream society

243
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 4: aren't used to because that's like an old thing that's

244
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 4: not necessarily used nowadays.

245
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: Are the eldest pride of the music, like when they

246
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: hear y'all, like I said, you know, keeping certain traditions

247
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: alive and ancestral knowledge and y'all putting in the music

248
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: is proud of it.

249
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 3: One thing about us and Tone's getting into it was

250
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: was that we we incorporate our traditional sounds. So Tone

251
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 3: is a singer. He's a traditional singer. Can't see I'm

252
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 3: not going to try to ever, but tone he incorporates

253
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: our traditional music into it. We bring our drums into it.

254
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 3: We added into the beats. We're always going to bring

255
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 3: the culture into it. But it's funny you say that,

256
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 3: because I just did a show a couple of weeks

257
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: ago where I performed in the middle of the res,

258
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: the Navajo Res, and it was to nothing but elders

259
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: and their little grandkids who are running around. And sometimes

260
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: it's like that, you don't have the moms. Moms and

261
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: dads are working, or they're not around right now, or

262
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 3: they're moved to the city to work, so the grandmas

263
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: and grandpas are watching their kids. And it was a

264
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: parentit at a high school, so they brought their kids

265
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 3: and it's just elders. I'm talking like fluent speakers.

266
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 5: What age are your elders, because I know our elders

267
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 5: getting a little younger because the parents are getting younger.

268
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 3: Yes, that's true. That's another thing too. But when when

269
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 3: I think of elders, I think like sixties or not.

270
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 6: You know, it also goes on like the knowledge, like.

271
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: They can be an elder and older, you know what

272
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: I mean.

273
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,599
Speaker 6: That's song too. Elders and older.

274
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: You can you could be an older person with no teachings.

275
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: Just the old fool, yeah, the oldest.

276
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 4: But with that too, I want to say, like, so

277
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: i'm I'm like, my name is antonine X, I'm Omaha,

278
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 4: I'm Lakota. On my La Colta side, i'm Ogla and

279
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: Changu and that's that's Sue. That's my tribes. So my

280
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 4: mom she's La Cuta and that's the Sue. And within

281
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 4: the La Culta there's bands and i'm Oglaa and Schangu.

282
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 4: The reds would be pine Ridge and Rosebud. And then

283
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: my dad's for Umaha, which is the city Omaha is

284
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 4: named after.

285
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 5: Said, that's right, you know.

286
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 6: What I mean.

287
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 4: And so the language I remember being told like the

288
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 4: language is dying. So we have things that were still

289
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: fighting to get back, which is like languages. And then

290
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: there's languages like like the net that's thriving. But you

291
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 4: know that that was used to help win the war.

292
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 6: What war was that?

293
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: World War two?

294
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 4: So of course the government is gonna be oh yeah, yeah,

295
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: we like language and helped us winn the war, you know,

296
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: But other areas we're like fighting, and now we're fighting

297
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 4: to your languages back. So with the music, you know,

298
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: I am learning, but I incorporated some Omaha language which

299
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: almost died out some years ago, and I put it

300
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 4: into it like a dance hall record. And now I

301
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: have homies from Washington and Sean and you know what

302
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 4: that means, Like what's it meaning? But you're speaking Omaha

303
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: and now we have little kids singing it and it's

304
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: like we're bringing language back. Language revitalization through music.

305
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: I mean, dope music is dope music. Like if you

306
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: don't necessarily have to know the language. Think about when

307
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: Big pun bit, did.

308
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: I know what that back?

309
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 7: Then?

310
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: You know it means uh? Is uh? Yes? Girl?

311
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: Now listening to bad but I look at the lyrics.

312
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 4: You know he's just making dope shit.

313
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 2: Our afro beats, like you don't necessarily know every word,

314
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: but they just ma can dope.

315
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: Music universal language.

316
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: You just could hum something and people are gonna feel it.

317
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: That connects people. And even our traditional songs, you know,

318
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: we sing those and some some songs will be like

319
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: what's that meaning? I'm like, it means all of this

320
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: and I can't really explain, Like I can't explain it.

321
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: But it's gonna be so much to explain. But what

322
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 4: does it say? Like the words? There's no words in

323
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 4: this specific song. It's like vocals, but that song is

324
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 4: used for a specific thing within our ceremonies, and everyone

325
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 4: knows that song for that. And I guess if you

326
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 4: look at it from outside perspective, that's what it is.

327
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 4: It's like would be like humming or vocals. But with Meani,

328
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? So like I feel like that.

329
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 4: You know, if you hear our songs, you know they're

330
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: pretty as songs.

331
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 6: What the hell is that? But it's good, you know

332
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 6: you'll feel it.

333
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 5: How how offensive or and I don't know if it's offensive.

334
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 5: How do you guys feel about the fact that like

335
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 5: schools still teach Columbus Day versus there's no real conversation

336
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 5: around Indigenous people.

337
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 6: Day school teaching everything.

338
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, much learned about that teaching.

339
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 6: You know, they're not teaching nothing.

340
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: So even just what happened recently yesterday the guy in

341
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: the White House signed a proclamation or what is it?

342
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: What are they signing? What's he signing? Those executive orders

343
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: to get rid of Indigenous People's Day on the calendar

344
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: as a federal holiday. Now it's always been Columbus Day

345
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: federally recognized as Columbus Day, and then in twenty twenty one,

346
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: Biden made Indigenous People Today side by side with it,

347
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 3: which is a step towards the right direction. But you know,

348
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: he undid that, and he just totally just said we're

349
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: doing away with Indigenous People's Day yesterday, Yeah, yesterday, And

350
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 3: that took years of people to make happen, you know

351
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: what I mean, to get that recognition just on the calendar.

352
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: And what you're saying is true, man, Like the history

353
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: isn't taught because they want to forget the history, and

354
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: it's happening right now, even with Black history. They're getting

355
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 3: rid of the history because they want to make they

356
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 3: want to make it seem like genocide slavery didn't happen,

357
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: or they're okay with the genocide and slavery because it's

358
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: happening right now all over the world. Still, we're just

359
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: so desensitized to it. So we definitely don't fuck with

360
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 3: like I'm sorry, my bad, but we don't don't. We don't.

361
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: We don't fuck with with how erased we're coming. And

362
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 3: this is one reason we pushed, pushed so hard to

363
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: get into these platforms because people need to see us

364
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 3: in the flesh twenty twenty five, twenty twenty six, soon

365
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 3: and we're here. We're still here, man, like we're here.

366
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: We're wearing long hair. My grandpa had his hair cut

367
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: and boarding school they had to forcefully cut their hair

368
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 3: to disconnect them from their our traditions and ways. Here

369
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: we are, you know, and we're merging cultures together to

370
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: be able to speak our language and have have a

371
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 3: sense of pride in it for our young kids and

372
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 3: our elders love it, you know.

373
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: And it's wild with even him signing the executive order,

374
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: the you know, not acknowledge Indigenous people there because the

375
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: executive what a Biden sign will acknowledge both.

376
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: So it's not like you had to get.

377
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: Rid of either, or you know, you didn't have to

378
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 2: go out of your way to say there's no Indigenous.

379
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: People that spike.

380
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, it's just everything is backwards now.

381
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 3: You see what's happening. Man, everything's back.

382
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 6: We're used to it. Tell us what that I mean,

383
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 6: it's era, That's what it's been.

384
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Ain't nothing new. I'm sorry, I thought you I thought

385
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: you said I did. He didn't know.

386
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 5: That, you know.

387
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me about this song, Scout Takers.

388
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: Man, all scout Takers I released said a couple of

389
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 3: weeks ago.

390
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: And the people, the natives still participating in scout takings.

391
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 3: We're about to with everything. No, but the history of

392
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: scalp scout taking it comes from the French. Actually, the

393
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 3: French did it first to Indians and then we took

394
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 3: it and we kind of just did it back. Everything

395
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 3: that happened to us, we did it back. But we

396
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: I mean, we have stories, we have societies, we call

397
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 3: them societies where they honor warriors of the past who

398
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 3: participated in that. You know, they honored the scalps that

399
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 3: they took, they carried them, they wore them on their belt.

400
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 3: So that song is more or less just me like

401
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 3: coming full circle back around and saying, this is my

402
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: mentality right now, like fuck everything that's going on, I'm

403
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 3: scalp taking. I'm gonna I'm gonna be I'm a warrior up,

404
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 3: you know, and I want our people to be that

405
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: and to feel that with the music. So yeah, Scalp Takers,

406
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 3: it's out everywhere. Dropping the video soon and then tone

407
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: over here. You know, he just he just dropped a

408
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: song and video is shorty shorty, and you know these

409
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 3: these are making their rounds and and yeah, ships scalp

410
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 3: taking baby, don't get scalped.

411
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: The names and names end up on Fox News or something.

412
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: You want me to have the slow.

413
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 2: What are some misconceptions about native identity or history that

414
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 2: y'alluld like to correct?

415
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 6: Mm hmm. What's something that?

416
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's something you guys that you can't say that

417
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: you can't that's why the misconceptions you get?

418
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: What are some stereotypes misconcition?

419
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 4: He's an example, and like how wild? You could just

420
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 4: ask us because this one dude came up. He was like, hey, bro,

421
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 4: I heard uh, if you're still on the Reds, they

422
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 4: cut your hand off.

423
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: I've always heard that.

424
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: Hell know, you know what's crazy. I went to a

425
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 5: Reds before for I used to work in community relations

426
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 5: for Barclays and we went into a reservation and the yeah,

427
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 5: I've heard that. Well, like people really think that that's

428
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 5: the thing.

429
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 6: Where was where was that we were?

430
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 5: I don't know, somewhere in like Mexico, Mexicos, Mexico, New

431
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 5: Mexico City or something like that Mexicos somewhere over there.

432
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: I don't really remember. It was like a long time ago,

433
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: but we went and we stayed for like a week,

434
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 5: and that was one of the things that we were

435
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 5: kind of warned, Yeah, well we weren't.

436
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 6: I wasn't going to still. Well look they say a

437
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 6: lot man, and that's they said, wow, things like that.

438
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 6: And he asked me.

439
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 4: I was like, bro, if you still then they'll call

440
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 4: the cops and then you'll get in trouble. But that's

441
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: the same thing as the city. But I guess it's

442
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 4: just things like that.

443
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 6: You know, people thinking we're just like some always drunk.

444
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 4: I want to say something right now, my whole entire

445
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 4: life as a native person, one hundred percent, I've never

446
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 4: had one taste of alcohol my entire life. Wow, I've

447
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 4: never I don't even smoke. Never smoked my entire life.

448
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: That's just what I chose to walk. And in our way,

449
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: we call that the red road, and that's the red

450
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 4: road of walking free from all of that because that

451
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 4: blurs the connection, right, it gets you blurry and hazy.

452
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 4: And you know, I just chose this way of life,

453
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 4: and that's as a young person, I chose to be

454
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 4: a singer and a singer as a high regard in

455
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: our community. These songs are powerful. These songs are everything

456
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 4: for our ceremonies. So, you know, my my, my dad,

457
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: my mom. They were like, you know, if you walk

458
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 4: this way, you walk the red road. So I decided

459
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 4: to walk the red road as a young man. And

460
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: here I am as a grown man and still walking

461
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 4: that way.

462
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 3: And I'm a person that's you know, added to that stereotype.

463
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 3: I was an addiction. I was, you know, heavily influenced

464
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: by alcohol and walking and being sober. Now now I'm

465
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: walking the red road and hey, you know what I mean.

466
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 3: And it's it's it's a rough it's a rough life.

467
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: I mean you grow up with it all around you

468
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: in a dysfunctional way. I mean, you guys see that

469
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 3: in the inner cities as well, you know, stuck in

470
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: a cycle. So being able to get out of that

471
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: and being able to push that age and like push

472
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 3: that the red road is important for us and it's

473
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: iportant for our kids to hear that too.

474
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: What about uh, you know, some of the forms of

475
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 2: compensation and restitution y'all are received for where.

476
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 3: That where's that at?

477
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 2: That's one of the stereotypes, I guess.

478
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: So, yeah, we don't get so conversation and all that stuff.

479
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of the tribes out there that

480
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: own casinos that are next to huge cities and or

481
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: freeways interstates that do they do they do reserve a

482
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 3: per capita from their earnings to each member if they're

483
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: a small nation. Most nations, though, we're out in the

484
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: middle of nowhere and we don't have that luxury of

485
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: having casinos near big city centers or anything like that.

486
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: But there's no other forms of constan like restitutions that

487
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: we get from the government. We've had a lot of

488
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: things stolen from treaty rights that we signed with treaties

489
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 3: that with the government that we're taking during the time

490
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 3: of starvation when where people were being starved and we

491
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: were forced to give up land. So there's a lot

492
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: of things happening right now where we're getting land back

493
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: through buying land and taking land, you know what I'm saying.

494
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: So that's a huge myth is that we get free

495
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 3: money from the government. We pay taxes, you know what

496
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 3: I'm saying. We have to pay taxes. Everyone has to

497
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: everyone has to pay taxes. You know what I'm saying.

498
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 3: So and it's just so happens that our ancestors paid

499
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: the worst tax you know, they were lied to and

500
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 3: they were starved and they were killed.

501
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: And I guess it's it's those those you're bringing up,

502
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 4: like the main ones. I guess I should have just

503
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 4: brought those up. You know, alcoholism, smoking, don't pay taxes,

504
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 4: get free money. Yeah, those are all the stereotypes that

505
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 4: we've grown up hearing about. And I guess the one

506
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 4: I brought up is like a deeper one, hands stopped off,

507
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 4: stuff like that.

508
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 6: The main those, yeah, I think too.

509
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: Just the way that you live on a reservation is

510
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 5: just like a People don't think that. It's like you

511
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 5: live like we do every day. People like people have

512
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 5: like this way that you mentioned the TPS earlier. I

513
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: don't think that, and I don't I've never heard someone

514
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 5: say that in twenty twenty five, But I do know

515
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 5: that people look at like people living on reservations and

516
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 5: they think that you guys, don't you just don't have

517
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 5: things like it's like a third world country.

518
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: No, it's it's definitely like that. We definitely have the

519
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 3: highest rates of unemployment, we have the highest rates of

520
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: suicide in our young people per capita in a lot

521
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 3: of places. And that's just due to the fact of

522
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: all the economic hardship that we endured from from from

523
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 3: times before, like the Howard Wheeler Act, these acts from

524
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 3: in the early nineteen hundreds that happened, and it's true,

525
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 3: you know, but now nowadays, like you have a lot

526
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 3: of Native businesses that are prospering. Yeah, and we're trying

527
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 3: to when we keep Native money in the Native community.

528
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: And we and ton't mentioned it earlier about how we

529
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 3: have our own little entertainment like fear happening Native entertainments.

530
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: There's the fashion shows, there's the filmmaking, there's the music industry,

531
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: there's and we're all like it's popping and getting that

532
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 3: to be able to be recognized in the mainstream as

533
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 3: a goal, it's a huge goal. Like they just had

534
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 3: Fashion Week here in New York City and they had

535
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: a whole Indigenous fashion Week on the side of that too.

536
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 6: So and with that too, the yeah, the way they live.

537
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 4: There's I mean, there's business owners, but then there's also

538
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 4: people who are still without electricity, very struggling.

539
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 5: We went we went to help bring over Wi Fi

540
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 5: to one of the residents because the kids hadn't experienced

541
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 5: good Wi Fi. So the company was like helping to

542
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 5: get that to the resident. And I thought it was

543
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 5: it was so crazy to me because I'm like, how, like,

544
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: what have the schools and stuff been doing?

545
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's there's there's I mean on the reds

546
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 4: there's like food. It's food deserts too, like one hundred

547
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 4: mile radius and there's just one grocery store, one gas station,

548
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: and they jacked the prices up. So, like I mentioned

549
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 4: it in one of my songs about kids walking fifteen

550
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 4: miles to get to school just to eat. You know,

551
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: but what if it's wintertime, snowed in, and what you're

552
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 4: you don't have a ride, there's no car. The closest

553
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 4: food is twenty miles away, and it's either don't eat

554
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 4: or get to that store and then pay the over

555
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 4: you know, they jack the prices up. So it's yeah,

556
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: it's it's tough. We're clawing our way out. Our people

557
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 4: are clawing our way out to just make like better

558
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 4: living conditions and a better life. Some people, it's people

559
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 4: like all of us. I feel like everyone's always thinking

560
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 4: about the people, not themselves. Maybe people always thinking about

561
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 4: their people.

562
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we always have to have to you know what

563
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 3: I mean.

564
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: I think I think we all have to adopt that

565
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: mentality right now. Man.

566
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: You know, to me, it's not even about what you

567
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: are right now, it's about what it's about what the

568
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 2: evil is on. It's really a battle of good versus

569
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: evil right now. So you just got to find that

570
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 2: energy that you gravitate towards. Find like minded people and black, brown, indigenous,

571
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: everybody just got to click up, you know, even the

572
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 2: good white fol everybody just got to click up.

573
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 6: Oh you know what's crazy.

574
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 4: I was talking to some homies out in LA and

575
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 4: I was telling them, like, you know what, the secret

576
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 4: sauces that I think for artists is Native people. Like

577
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 4: there's I'm gonna say who, but there's a lot of

578
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 4: artists out there that I would say, like fell off

579
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 4: if they went anywhere else, people all they fell off

580
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 4: and no one gets tickets, but they're getting their full rates,

581
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 4: selling out like huge, you know, like venues, and it's

582
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 4: all natives. So they start hitting the native circuit. So

583
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: when we say write, we say like little, like oh

584
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 4: we have a little circuit, but it's not really little

585
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 4: like I've been touring and selling out venues and it's like,

586
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 4: I mean, for the level that i'm it's great, you know,

587
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 4: six hundred to one thousand tickets sold per night. And

588
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 4: when people see that, so I wanted to la and

589
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 4: they're like, I'm like, yeah, this is our last show,

590
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 4: and they're boomless work, you know what I mean. And

591
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 4: by having all of my people behind me, I think

592
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 4: the reason why people I know, the reason why people

593
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 4: stand with me is because I stand for and with

594
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: my people.

595
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 6: And that's like what this movement is.

596
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 4: That's what antone X is, That's what Natani means is,

597
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 4: and a true you know, Native artist, I feel like

598
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: it's that standing with the people and the people standing

599
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 4: with them, and so that's why the crowds pop out.

600
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: And if anybody stands with Native people too, or just acknowledgement,

601
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 4: Hey my Natives, I see y'll. You know, I'm gonna

602
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: come do a show on the rest somewhere no one

603
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 4: goes because all these misconceptions, you know, right, no one

604
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: goes there. So let me go out there and show

605
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 4: some love. Then Native people are own real one and

606
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna rock with them until forever.

607
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: I've got to, you know, I've always had a theory.

608
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, y'all were not the only

609
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 2: people indigenous to the land. I feel like black people

610
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: were indigenous to the land too, especially I'm from South Carolina.

611
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: So you can look at, you know, some pictures of

612
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: indigenous people and then look at pictures of black people,

613
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 2: and they look exactly the same.

614
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: There's always been we have see within what the mainstream

615
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: society doesn't understand that we still have oral traditions and

616
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: stories that being passed down. And inside those oral traditions

617
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: and stories that are passed down, we had trade routes

618
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 3: from with everybody. So people from the Pacific Islands would

619
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: trade on the coast of California all the way down

620
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 3: to Peru, and Africa would come and trade all the

621
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: way from South America the Atlantic all the way up

622
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: into like Newfoenland. So we have, like every nation has

623
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 3: stories of these trade routes that are happening, you know,

624
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 3: and that's older than what's written down, what's documented by

625
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: the European American. And that's what I start calling them now,

626
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: is European Americans, because you know, with everything that's happening,

627
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. I always tell them, like, man,

628
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: you weren't born here either. Your generationally goes back a

629
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: couple couple generations, we go back thousands of years. But no,

630
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: you're right, and re establishing those connections is but definitely

631
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: what we have to do now and understanding and like

632
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 3: you said, we all have to come together based off

633
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 3: of the love for each other right now, especially right now.

634
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: You see what's happening in the streets. You see the

635
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 3: people getting taken. It's like nineteen forties Germany, nineteen thirties Germany,

636
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: and it's hard. But the unity that has to come

637
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 3: together right now, man, and the misconceptions have to stop.

638
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: The fear has to stop, and the love has to

639
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: grow has to if we're gonna survive, We're going to live.

640
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 3: Take it from people that have been in survival mode,

641
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, and that are still in

642
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: survival mode. We're here, we've been here, and we can

643
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: all move forward together.

644
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 4: You ever been to South Carolina, nah Man, A lot

Speaker 1: it's a lot. It's a lot of drives.

652
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 3: A lot of those tribes on the east, on the

653
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: eastern slope, they got forcefully removed to Oklahoma.

654
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:33,400

658
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 5: in my time there, I was so young. But yeah,

659
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,719
Speaker 5: probably a different experience now.

660
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and there's I mean, there's just be honest with you,

661

Speaker 6: I'm gonna want to drink. Yeah, there's water, lemonade, there's

662
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 6: the power. Lemonade are the best ones you ever have?

663
00:32:58,160 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 6: You can drink a lemonade? Yeah?

664
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 3: Is it like, how is.

665
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: I need to infuse?

666
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 3: Y'all don't have like, oh, this is this fusion happening.

667
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: There's infusion happening.

668
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: It's happening.

669
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 3: It's happening it out here.

670
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: You know from fact though, Omaha, the Omaha people, that's

671
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 4: the original power. So every power that you ever heard of,

672
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 4: the one that you went to all traces back to Nebraska.

673
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 4: The well, so power is a celebration.

674
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 6: Okay, it's a social.

675
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 3: It's a social I mean, I know what it is.

676
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: But I feel like you ever heard of a trail

677
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: ride in the South, they do like trail ride.

678
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: I feel like it would be kind of like that

679
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: without the know we through the bonfires.

680
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 6: And all that too, though, No, so, so the power

681
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 6: is a celebration.

682
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 4: They're sacred things within it though, you know, like people

683
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 4: earn all those feathers and you know, there's there's healing dances.

684
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 4: But it's a celebration. So again, like to be in

685
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 4: that circle would you would have to be clear of

686
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 4: all of the you know, alcohol and stuff like that.

687
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 4: So it is a celebration, but it's like a traditional celebration.

688
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 4: And then from there though, it goes into each tribe.

689
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 4: Then we have our own ceremonies and those are way deeper.

690
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 4: It's similar to like pow wow food. Like you've heard

691
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 4: of Indian tacos and fry bread. Yeah, so Indian tacos

692
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,760
Speaker 4: fry bread damn.

693
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

694
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 6: Well that's ah, that's sort of you know a lot

695
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 6: of people bring up you know, that's the food. But

696
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 6: it's not our traditional food. It's survival food.

697
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: So back when you know they put us on reservations,

698
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 4: they gave rations of the most unhealthy shit. You know,

699
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 4: they're thinking one hundred years from now every time, you know,

700
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 4: and they're like, let's give them us unhealthy shit and

701
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 4: they'll get shipped, you know, one hundred years from diabetes

702
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 4: and all that.

703
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:51,919
Speaker 6: But survival food.

704
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the worst of the worst that they gave out.

705
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 6: But our traditional foods way better, you know, healthy, And it's.

706
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 3: A lot of people are going back to traditional cooking

707
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 3: and eating foods from that certain area.

708
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: So we'll put one together. We'll put together a big

709
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: pow wow.

710
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 4: We'll leave from right here, we'll go to the airport,

711
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 4: we'll go Black Hills. The biggest power, I would say

712
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 4: right now going on is Black Hills power in the city.

713
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 3: In the heart of Lakota Country, which is in South Dakota. Yeah, man, what.

714
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: Are you.

715
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 4: You know about the camp that I was at right,

716
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 4: because they brought me in after Standing Rock and Standing

717
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: Rock right, and you don't you know what that is.

718
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 4: It was fighting against the Dakota Access Pipeline. But anyway,

719
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 4: this camp brought us out to amplify our voices to

720
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 4: a thing called Burning Man. I didn't know what it

721
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: was at the time. I was like, yeah, I perform,

722
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 4: Get down. Where was the stage at wherever you want?

723
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 6: Brother? And I was like all right, And they had like.

724
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 4: These fake tepees up. So I'm kicking it. We're riding

725
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 4: bikes around. Like day three, they start using our drums

726
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 4: and our songs like these are ceremonial songs, beating these

727
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 4: drums are doing crazy ship and so I called them

728
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 4: out and you know, I was with some of my

729
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 4: homies and called them out and They're like, no, brother,

00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: No, conscious colonization is crazy.

733
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 4: They removed me from the camp, and I remember I

734
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 4: ended up getting to like Reno, and I was sitting

809
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 4: Antone X A N T O I n e X

810
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 4: music on all platforms. Yeah, just you know, run the

811
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 4: music up, check out the movement. The movement is for

812
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 4: the people. So if you support. I just want to

813
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 4: say this, there's artists that are paintings. This is just

814
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 4: kind of how I picture it. A lot of artists

815
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 4: are paintings. They paint a picture and then there's nothing

816
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 4: behind them. I don't want everyone to understand this that

817
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 4: antone x Natini means are like doorways. So if you

818
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 4: tap into the artists, that door opens, and we open

819
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 4: that door for all Native artists, brands, businesses, all of that,

820
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 4: and you'll tap into everything. You'll see more music, more,

821
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. And that's I feel like

822
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 4: that's good. So any artists out there, like you said,

823
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 4: start moving for the people and with the people, and

824
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 4: be a doorway. Don't just be a painting your doorway

825
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 4: to your people, you know what I mean. And that's

826
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:19,439
Speaker 4: how you open that community. But I want to share

827
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 4: this is Indigenous People's Day. It's nothing else. This is

828
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 4: Indigenous People's Day. And again we talked about the music,

829
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 4: you know, and for us, music is medicine because it's

830
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 4: in our ceremonies. So if this is coming to the

831
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 4: closing point, on share a prayer song with you guys,

832
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,320

860
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 4: when you're sad and people you play sad song. I

861
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 4: remember this elder that I was listening to. He said,

862
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 4: my song when I leave, and it was his song

863
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 4: for he was gonna move on and go home, and

864
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 4: he said, make it happy. I want the people to

865
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 4: be happy when they think of me. So we went

866
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 4: through hardships and I made this song for the family

867
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 4: to uplift them. So anyone listening, take the song, think

868
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: good things, think of your families, and just send good

869

Speaker 4: energy their way and love their way, and then take

870
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 4: it in for yourselves. But yeah, I'll say that. You know,

871
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 4: my pops told me, he said, if we don't have

872
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 4: the right words, then we have the right song, especially

873
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 4: as native people. So right now, the best prayer in

874
