about

"Stand With Us" is our prayer of solidarity & support for the Lakota Sioux Nation, & all the water protectors who have converged in North Dakota at Standing Rock Reservation to support the Dakota Access Pipeline resistance efforts.

This unprecedented tribal convergence has been catalyzed by the pipeline, but is representative of something much larger & more profound than a protest.

This is the first time in centuries that all the indigenous nations of Turtle Island (America) have come together in unity & guardianship for our Earth & the waters of life.

"Stand With Us" features the prayers of Yona FrenchHawk, one of the few remaining full-blooded Cherokee people who fluently speak the native tongue. We recorded his prayer in front of a bowl of water containing drops of water from over 400 different sacred sites where he has performed ceremony to honor the waters of life.

May this song and prayer illuminate the magnificience and significance of this movement in the hearts of all beings, May it offer strength and solidarity to the souls of all who are standing up in this way to protect our beloved Earth Mother.

All of the money raised from this release will be donated to the community at Standing Rock, through the crowdfunding campaign here.

Blessed and clean be the waters of life. May we learn to stand up for what we know is needed in this world.
