Dana Lyons Performs at Elwha Dam Removal Ceremony

[norrdavind]

To finish what was said: nutsmata means drop of water in nuxalk. Corey died defending the land and was the truest and most humble of all the dog soldiers to have risen up against this kkkorpoorot system. Thank you! For this song, it has fed me and my family for all these years.

Sincerely,

Innutsiquagh

We sang this song at the skowiltz and king island actions in bc. The largest roadless area of its kind left unprotected on the planet. Now big oil wants to punch a pipeline right through it to serve Chinese fuel interests and open up this last roadless valley of its kind. Old long houses and totem poles from yesteryear throughout ancient trees that it takes thirty people together their arms around. Thank you for your writing and music Dana. Rest in peace Corey (nutsmata) for giving your life in
