Standing  Rock  Anthem  Gets Some  MTV  LOVE

8/7/2017

0 Comments

 
The Standing Rock Anthem "Stand Up!" has earned an MTV Video Music Award Nomination in the "Best Fight Against The System" video category. Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas wrote the song and my favorite actress Shailene Woodley-- who has been there from the beginning-- opens the video rapping out the message. Voting is open now until the day the show airs on Sunday, August 27th. You can learn more here.

I like how the video shows a smooth transition from a typical hip hop gesture to a First Nation Pow Wow spin. 

I want to believe that singing and dancing will change the world because I know what the New Seminole did under the leadership of its founder and my dead father-in-law Busimanolotome Osceola failed miserably.  He lost his life for "The Cause" of freeing up the Everglades and South Florida and returning it to its rightful caretakers-- the New Seminole-- in a David and Goliath battle that Goliath won. If you're interested in how all of that went down, you can read about it here.
