#FlaggstaffArizona -- In a beautiful tribute, #EdKabotie, #Hopi, performed "The Trail," honoring those who have passed, making their journey among the stars, during the seven-hour Rumble on the Mountain at the Orpheum Theater on Saturday.
Kabotie remembered Dine' artist #BajeWhitethorneSenior, #RainyOrtiz, daughter of Simon Ortiz and Joy Harjo, and Dine' #KleeBenally. Kabotie said Icy Whisper, the band, had a death in the family and was not able to be at Rumble.
"During the extraordinary lineup of stars during the 10th Rumble on the Mountain, Kabotie spoke of war, a war of the paradigms and philosophies, and of industrial #mining which has no respect for the people or value of the land.
"Kabotie and Tha Yoties performed 'War' in honor of #Havasupai.
"'That little reservation in the Grand Canyon has been teaching us to fight.'"
