it's time to accept everyone of color like we use to. stand up for them too. 

I listen to this song on repeat its my inspiration to stay on the path I walk in reconnection and practicing my traditions absolutely need this!

**Original Song = A Tribe Called Red - Stadium Pow Wow** 

Lyrics
Intro:
1 Family
If we don't stand who will?
1 Earth

Verse:
The wind comes in 4 corners
4 directions, 4 Colors
And death rides on 4 horsemen
A Black Snake with some black tanks (Ugh)
How much $ do these companies need to make?
They could drive their product
But they want to save a buck
Already extracted billions
When is enough, enough?
I used to be in the oil fields, getting paid
But I quit, cus oil water I cant drink
Looked down and seen kimimila die in the mud
I looked up and told myself that enough's enough
Money does not own my soul, living comfortable
is not in my plans, my hands in the sand,
Some things worth more than gold
Some things they can't be sold
Some things can't be replaced
She is your mother, the fresh water is her veins

Interlude 1:
Turtle Island not Black Snakes
The fresh water is her veins
What is going on have we all lost our minds?
Every human needs clean water to survive...

Verse 2:
Love is the strongest
This path is the hardest
But if we weren't strong enough
to do it we wouldn't see it
Our prayers would not be needed
This movement's very needed
Indigenous wisdom unheeded
and sacred things depleted
Im Mexicano, ma Lakota, and I'm white to
Im mixed with everyone
so part of me's just like you
Every group of human beings
shares the same stars
And if the earth is not your mother
Are you from Mars??

Interlude 2:
This side of the planet's been in decline since 1492
500 year and counting
Surviving the genocide they call "Colonizing my Turtle Island"

Verse 3:
What is a fossil fuel?
Continued destruction, nothing new
Live in a system
Taking our children
Shifting their feelings
Till nothings true
I had that $ in front of me but I left it
Cus oil money's dirty if my Mother gets disrespected
We're disconnected, these times are hectic
and feeling heavy
But we still love all living beings
and suffer for the many
We are a peaceful people
Thats why we walk with prayer
And if that wasn't true
We wouldn't be standing here

Outro:
We're peaceful people
Who walk with prayer
Turtle Island, have no fear
Despite what they show
in the media
We're kind people, hold your ground
Change is coming now...
