I heard this song on WMPG's show, #TheWeavers with #LisaSockabasin. What a great lead-up to today's #DemocracyNow broadcast (Weavers is at 11:30am, while Democracy Now airs at Noon).

"You provided us a home; our conduct is shameful
Momma! We need you now more than ever
I can't believe the way we treated you; better late than never
I've taken you for granted but from here and now I cherish you
And this my open letter to show the pain that I share with you
You've given us a life, my brothers make you hurt
But all they see is dollar signs when stealing out your purse
Man, they never taken the time to see you for what you really worth
But the damage done is permanent it can't be reversed

Oh Momma! You really made some shady people
You've given them the world but like the sun you see no evil
Momma D was my teacher but she gone now
I know where I belong now; my mother's keeper
So Momma I refuse to see you die this way
I take your pain to fuel my fame to fight the game another day

It's oil mines and pipelines; show me what the cancer is
Injected in your veins I'll tell you what the answer is
Momma, Momma!
(Wade, in the water)
Momma, Momma!
(Wade, in the water, children)"

#BloodInMyEyes by #KleeBenally

"if this is the season to harvest
we harvest what we have grown
our teethe like daggers
our nails sharpened on stone

our enemies surround us
there is a symmetry in this cycle
the land and the seasons
are weapons of our survival

in this war there are more than two sides
can’t you see the the blood in my eyes?

we’ve gone to war with empty hands before
like thousands of arrows, lightening crashing down
we’ve gone to war with empty hands before
with darkness and mother earth, we stand this sacred ground…

in this war there are more than two sides
can’t you see the the blood in my eyes?"

from The Unsustainable Sessions, released November 26, 2019

#NativeAmericaCalling: Native Playlist with #KenPomeroy and #SamanthaCrain

Friday, October 3, 2025

"Two #NativeAmerican women from Oklahoma are carving distinct and inviting musical paths through the music world.

"Samantha Crain is out with her seventh album. 'Gumshoe' offers the latest installment in the veteran #Choctaw singer-songwriter’s musical evolution. The cover artwork — a photo of her own beadwork — is a clue to the roots she draws on for strength and inspiration.

"And Ken Pomeroy is out with her debut album. 'Cruel Joke' invokes a simmering depth of feeling that transcends her young age. She is a natural storyteller from the #CherokeeNation with a lot to say.

"Both of these creative artists are added to the Native Playlist at Native America Calling."

The Warriors
by #SnottyNoseRezKids

"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"
