The Warriors

"I don't rock 'n' roll, nah, I stand and rock (Standin' Rock, yi)
I think there's something in the water, here's some food for thought
Is it really a felony for wanting my water clean?
Expect us not to rage against the machine
We ain't movin' like Rosa P, nope
You know why, 'cause this dreamcatcher's catchin' your pipe dream
Look what happened to Flint
No disrespect, but the same happens to village kids that sip water from the tap
And they're dyin' to live from the cancer it gives
Where's the state of emergency for them?
Act like you know the story
Broken treaties, unholy matrimony
One nation under the creator, homie
All my relations, mni wiconi"

"Police violence is systemically rooted in #WhiteSupremacy, #heteropatriarchy, #capitalism, and #colonialism.

"According to Eastern Kentucky University professor Victor E. Kappeler, 'New England settlers appointed Indian Constables to police Native Americans (National Constable Association, 1995), the St. Louis police were founded to protect residents from Native Americans in that frontier city, and many southern police departments began as slave patrols. In 1704, the colony of Carolina developed the nation’s first slave patrol. Slave patrols helped to maintain the economic order and to assist the wealthy landowners in recovering and punishing slaves who essentially were considered property.'

"According to the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice 'The racial group most likely to be killed by law enforcement is Native Americans, followed by African Americans, Latinos, Whites, and Asian Americans.' This is not to argue Indigenous folks’ oppression is more severe, but to recognize our shared struggles to ensure there is not one more Sarah Lee Circle Bear‬, Corey Kanosh‬, Paul Castaway‬, Allen Locke‬, Mahivist Goodblanket‬, John Williams‬, or Loreal Tsingine (and so many more...) and to situate the ongoing police terrorism all our communities face as originating from the same systems of oppression.
Beyond pleas for a system rooted in genocide and slavery to recognize that our lives matter, our communities and movements can learn from each others’ struggles and build together towards lasting solutions to defend ourselves, neighbors, lands, and to resolve issues we face in more just and healthy ways.

#Unsustainable by #KleeBenally

"All my rage bleeds out my throat
into rivers that used to flow
into canyons painting these deserts
so that they will grow. (once again)

is it too late
to rethink this?
on the eve of another apocalypse…
how far are will willing to go
to resist?
how far are will willing to go?

we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

are you still waiting and hoping this will all go away?
or for a better cage or more comfortable chains?
while these roots wither and they decay
well, its not broken, it’s made this way…
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

and if the structures don’t change?
and the control remains the same?
they bring terror but they have names
so fuck your votes, your politicians, and reforms
we can’t sustain, we can’t sustain
the unsustainable

end this cycle
destroy what destroys us

we can’t sustain."

- 2019, Klee Benally

Song To The Sun by #KleeBenally

"Our Mother aches
Our claws dig until She breaks
And we bleed for this
How much is in her
I remember songs of the Sun
For those whose breath was stolen..."

She Was A Mountain by #KleeBenally

"Ya'at'eeh,

In honor and support for ongoing resistance to forced relocation on #BlackMesa. This is for the original #matriarchs who would not be moved such as #KatherineSmith, #RobertaBlackgoat, #PaulineWhitesinger, #MaeTso, #AliceBenally, #RuthBenally, and so many more."

#Blackfire - #Resist (with #KleeBenally)

"Walk upon the screaming grounds, each step takes us on a different past
We try to carry on, but you hold us back
We get used to the pain, 'cause we feel it every day
We get used to the lies, 'cause the truths so far away
Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?

"The past is just an echo we hear in the pages of books
But how can we let go of something we could never touch
Were given the freedom of speech but you change our words
You turn to help the environment but you can't respect the earth

"Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?

"You sold your life for another life
You sold your future thought you could survive
You sold your soul for an education
What you got was forced relocation

Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?

"Decide now which side of the fence you want to be on
Which way do you want to live?
How can we choose one or the other
We must resist
We will build the bridges
We will tear down the fences
We will resist, We will resist!

"Walk upon the screaming grounds, no respect for the dead
You see what you want to see, is nothing sacred?
Is nothing sacred?"
