Today on Aabitoose, Winona LaDuke speaks with Xiuhtezcatl Martinez and Shane Davis, about fracking in Colorado . Featuring music by eco hip hop group Earth Guardians, Xiuhtezcatl and Shane talk about the current reality of fracking in Colorado and what forms of resistance - such as "fracktivism" - are taking root to oppose it. 

Long a center of oil and gas activity, there are tens of thousands of fracking wells in Colorado - and the accompanying "fraccidents" that come with that(1). In this interview, Shane and Xiuhtezcatl describe the process of fracking, why everyone should be concerned about fracking in Colorado and everywhere, and their inter-generational connection over concerns about fracking.

Additionally, Earth Guardians provide a soundtrack of "music with a message", described as eco hip hop by Xiuhtezcatl. Tune in and hear what this up-and-coming band has to say!
