1:13 pm
turn a blind eye or join in with their illegal activities the local municipal part ministrations i'm much more prone to corruption and infiltration and organized criminal groups identify this as an opportunity and ones they have infiltrated into a local municipal administration which allows them to carry out their activities with relative impunity they are not willing to let that go. politicians who refuse the criminals off or who are aligned with a rival group risk this one of the now almost daily funerals medal candidate one hundred chavis was mourned on the same day we spent with elizabeth. it's a bleak picture with an unprecedented number of candidates up for election in less than two weeks this seems playing out across the country as candidates make their last pitch in what are the biggest elections in mexico's history but rather than a celebration of democracy in many places they're showing how intertwined politics

1:22 pm

1:23 pm
the stream frank hello i think it's an honor to be here it's really good to have you here so you know this past week our team and i had. going to your music has been lovely homework to have and we came up with themes that we thought we found most prevalent in your work and that is history heritage and family that to us is what seems to be the driver behind your work for you what is it that drives your music i mean i think you guys kind of hit it on the head i try to improve approach my work from an indigenous standpoint and that's not to say i have all the answers like i grew up and i said the colony in my mind was socialized into you know the western way of looking at the world so as i get more in touch with my own culture and my own roots and try to uncover what they took from us i try to bring that out and i work so very much at the core of it is love love for my people for the land for my family love for everything that we're supposed to live and balance with it's interesting to hear you say that
1:24 pm
a lot of people commenting on their colonialism and kind of the courage the creative courage in your lyrics specifically john little on twitter pointing out one song in particular called what makes the red man red saying my favorite line from his music is you inherited everything we died for and all we got is a damn mascot. since that person brought a song that you know i want to hear your answer on that and what you think of that i want to share our audience share with our audience what it sounds like so have a listen to this on sound cloud what made the red man red. thanksgiving. day. so you sampled disney's song from the animated feature the one nine hundred eighty three animated movie peter pan and turned it on its head so tell us about that so i
1:25 pm
produced my own music and i did that was the first time i ever actually sample of vinyl i found a record in a child. it's been in the use of vinyl so in minneapolis for a dollar and i've always wanted to do something with that song just because disney has a pretty horrible history of stereotyping my people and it's there in the music and so i always look for creative ways to put things like that on their head like and i just want to point out that the song is full of racial slurs for indigenous people but it came off of a children's record and you know so i just by doing that alone it kind of shows you where we're at in this country as far as how we look at entry indigenous people you have this line in there where you say what made you think the red man was dead or something paraphrasing you a little bit and i know you have a story where that actually happened to someone you know what is surprised yes so it was my first week in a so i graduated from columbia college in chicago i got my bachelor of arts and audio arts in acoustics and the first week i was there i was living in
1:26 pm
a dorm room in a dorm building in downtown chicago and i got in the elevator in this go got on the elevator with me and she was non-native she commented on my hair she would get really pretty have you and i was like you know thank you and she didn't know what that meant and so i had to be more general and i was like i'm native american and she looked at me confused and she was like you guys are still alive you know and just think about that we got college educated adults living on stolen colonise land i think we don't even exist. i mean you know people are talking about the reservations people you're saying you know people think we don't even exist anymore so much of their culture sadly for better or worse is out of sight and kind of out of mind a lot of people touching on the on line for example we have a man on twitter saying i currently reside in l.a. are obstacles when talking about you know he tweeted a single obstacles you face on the reservation other than deeply entrenched institutional racism imposed on the side of p.t.s.d. he goes on and on and says there's so much hopelessness how do you change that sense of hopelessness into hope in your music or do you i think i think you know
1:27 pm
i've been thinking about that a lot because i grew up in a place where it was it can get hopeless and i think when you're survivors of a genocide were less than one percent of your people survived and you never been. able to hear oh there's going to be a lot of like you said you know like colonial p.t.s.d. a lot of hopelessness so i think for me my work becomes a tool for me to practice hope is almost at montreaux almost like a daily practice you know you know you've got to keep practicing the hope on a daily basis otherwise it's easy to lose hope in that goal so i think my music gives me the tools of practice it in a day to day basis what drew you to have pop in the first place the storytelling the drums the the truth speaking truth to power you know i think at its core hip-hop was created by a call and i see people who are stolen away from their homeland stolen away from their culture and trying to recreate something that was taken from them so i think hip hop at its core is coming from indigenous roots you know african folks who are indigenous people as well we all are colonized people so i think that's why as an
1:28 pm
indigenous person i resonate with it because it was created by colonized people and it's drawing from indigenous tradition that it's roots you know frank for as much as we all of hip hop and i think we all here do love hip hop but some people don't love hip hop but they still love you i mean the loves days saying on twitter i'm not a fan of hip hop but it's different with his music really great i love it too bad i live so far to ever see him alive she goes on then to say when we ask what do you think is different about his music she said good question it might be because he talks about the realities that the government tried so hard to raise it's important to keep talking and spread the word to those who do not know and you're doing it extremely well are you conscious of that that you're educating as much as you're entertaining you know in the beginning i wasn't because i was just you know one thing i was taught from elders and i community is that if you know something you do it without being asked and if you if you learn something you repeat it so others can learn it and so i think you know i just was talking about those things because it's my life that histories and ingrained in my life indigenous people our lives
1:29 pm
are politicized whether we want it to be or not because our reality was influenced by us policy and still is today so i would be lying if i wasn't talking about. my reality and my life you know so i just just started happening and then as i started putting out the music i realized there was a need to educate not on not only non-native well known people because we were cut off from the history as well i didn't know i was a came from a colonized nation until i was in my twenty's you know really. well in the spirit of education for and i know you're going to perform a new song for us it's called my people come from the land so as you get ready i wanted to share this video comment that came from nolan hoc talking kind of about what we just spoke of. wallet his music speaks to me because he is a compromising and his music is a compromise and he tells the truth his music tells the truth and that i can identify with that as a black man because i look at something like this is america by donald glover and
1:30 pm
this is the same thing donald comes and goes hey this is what this is what this country's been doing to us the soul wall this is what this country is the tool to was right now franks laying it on the table the same way coming out of the original coming out with what makes a red man red and say this is what this country has been doing to native people one hundred years this is what this country is still doing to move. on from that and. come from the. romney people come from the land on which it's to fight the white and still fight. for still not every monday chins every step closer on the rest the white devils
1:31 pm
never said that they might keep a steep triple up trouble with. the council fires are still claim that. it's even money i'm a simple c. chump. hold on the stump got take some on. some of the subjects of sad traumas on the track like you see the sentence i'm not such a friend of mine sisters think daffyd. can take it down instead of buying a book to system book to capital this makes the day and me to sit down all these they took away with some weeks of good. on acela. from. which spam must come from and. just come from. feel. free to. beat the.
1:32 pm
shit sat up on. a cold shit tom. foley. clutch. should. i can latch on to is to. help me. stop. you must own the. bar for. home. shot the. first. cars just. don't. know when to withdraw.
1:33 pm
from the took the first thirty should. stand. cold water. this is a. holy. mystery. we still. don't know your state said please. to come to the. stage. to track. my grandparents' place. to stop the spread. of stopping these. it's like i would know where. the bell was but what world. would. come from. and some fight to fight fight fight.
1:34 pm
a. color. change. to the colts on the. following day call. the. so so powerful you are watching this stream with the hip hop indigenous artists wall and that was one of his latest songs that previewing here on the stream for the very first time so we're privileged our followers online know that we're privileged here this is one person on twitter who says so happy to be watching this live stream bring wall and someone else on you tube watching live says i love this the history of native
1:35 pm
americans is so important and needs to be taught and retain that's us on facebook and it's interesting what she says the history needs to be taught it needs to be retained because you do your line of the song it's my people come from the land and you talk about. historical tragedies of the white man but they're still ongoing to day do you think enough people understand. honestly i think and i think you know people's reactions to what's happening right now at the border is a great example of that if you understood this history from one of their colonial nations you understand this history. this country has a deep history of separating indigenous children from their parents i mean the same thing happened to my great grandparents they were snatched up and taken to boarding school and so you know what's happening today is just a continuation of one of the founding fathers this country is built on just just a policy that says because i know some people in our audience may not be familiar with boarding schools some might think that sounds like
1:36 pm
a good thing but these were indoctrination. boarding schools in this country and this happened to my great grandparents they came into our homes under you know under orders of the u.s. government's national ball of our children from the us up to canada and. they took my great grandparents from home and i don't know what happened to them but i know that they never spoke our language again and never passed on any of our culture after that so i can't imagine you what you would have to do to a small child to make them stop speaking their language and i didn't even know my great grandparents were fluent in our language until they. after they were passed on and i was in my twenty's because they kept it that much of a secret they felt that being a dad was something to be ashamed of because these schools top all of our ancestors that in this country is built on the dehumanization of indigenous people you know in that indian boarding schools are one of those tactics that used you know when you talk about the dehumanization whether it's native americans and you know language and land in these symbols your message is obviously resonating thinks
1:37 pm
twitter twitter saying is such an extraordinary musician talking about you of course his lyrics have the strength to render the overarching american culture speechless however i think creating music by native people for native people and presenting a positive native figure is more important to him and his music you smile as i kind of finish that tweet that i think is cool whatever my fans kind of you know because . the people who follow my work are usually hardcore fans because i don't you know there's not a lot of it's hard being an indigenous person and indigenous artists speaking about these things trying to make it in an entertainment system built in a colony built on the dehumanization of the people you know and be like saying well as a palestinian rapper talking about israel going to make it in an israeli record label are they going to get promoted in israel not really you know in the same thing with us here it's hard to break through to the popular american culture as an indigenous artists speaking on these sorts of things so i smile because you know the people
1:38 pm
that follow me get in and i just smile because you know she had it right and they were going to follow him from all over the world because you brought up palestine i just quickly want to bring their voice into this conversation because i know you recently took a trip there we also have palestinian fan on twitter saying i feel like parts of his lyrics can also be applied to the palestinian struggle people as someone who grew up in a country where i always got silenced when i talked about what horrors israel put palestinians through and you know she goes on on and. she really says that stood out to her right here she says to know someone with a voice as powerful as this is addressing those same problems in the hardships and maybe trying bridges to her experience is really powerful to her what was that trip like to that trip was life changing it was a year ago i spent eleven days i want a group called dream defenders i went with a delegation of artist and i was very grateful i was the only indigenous person but you know i was aware that their colonialism was happening out there but when i was actually in palestine for eleven days it was very i would say spiritually
1:39 pm
triggering because i saw almost sometimes almost like a line for a line what happened to my ancestors from like open air prison systems our reservations basically to setting the government setting up laws to make our lives a living hell in me because one of these and so you know i'm definitely going to write a song for palestine one day and the thing that just keeps coming to my head was i looked in the eyes of palestine and i saw my own reflection you know i saw the reflection of my people and what we went through and it really shook me to my core in a way i haven't found the words to describe but i know it's going to come out in the music soon i love what you're saying there and it it explains why you've been called this take a look at my screen here pink wants to bridge is the sound of an indigenous generation rising frank warren has been making moves he's built a large and devoted audience that and he's been dubbed the bob marley of the luck for the way that he envisioned its music as a force for love struggle healing and social change so that's one person there but
1:40 pm
i'd like that they're talking about the things that are in your music the love the struggle the healing in the social change i read an interview that you were about twenty one when you started this journey came into music and you did it because you said it was an act of survival so that seems to resonate throughout your lyrics talk to us about that feeling music is your means of survival while you know growing up in the place where i grew up on the rosewood reservation. it was an easy place to grow up it's one of the poorest counties in this country and i was raised by a single mom and you know there are a lot of beautiful things that our culture and you know we're reviving our language and there's a lot of things that home i can't get anywhere else in the world because of colonialism and genocide there's a lot of things that can actually kill me to you know whenever i'm talking about. music as an act of survival it started when i was seven i started playing piano when i was seventeen and i've struggled with anxiety depression and suicide for
1:41 pm
