White Clay

Tillicum Wawa interviewed Rachel, Zander, and TR McKenzie who were 3 of the five people who locked down across the road going through White Clay, Nebraska in support of the Lokota people. White Clay is a town just South of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation specifically there to sell alcohol to Indians in the continued genocide of that nation. We also interviewed Jeffery Eggers who was a medic and helped the people there who were pepper sprayed and were overheated. These folks are from a wonderful organization known as Deep Green Resistance.

We also interviewed Autumn Two Bulls and her son Wakiyan Ohitakan Hotokan Hoksila. Wakiyan was pepper sprayed along with some 10 others during the actions of this last weekend.

Tillicum Wawa 8-2-12

We interviewed Jessica Martinez Maxey, a flutist and actress out of New York. She has a very unique style of Native American Flute playing which sounds like it was influenced by the pan flute, which she also plays.

We heard music from the Samoan Group, Shakhouse, a song called Pati Mai. Although I cannot understand the words, it seems like a warrior type of song. Check out the video.

We also heard music from Plex, Douglas Bedard, a Nammy's winner. He has a hip-hop style that has a lot of meaning. He is ojibwe out of Toronto.
