Red Earth has released 3 albums, When Worlds Collide, Live at the Electric 49, and Zia Soul. Red Earth is a 6-man musical tag team executing pile-drivers of musical fortitude from Indian Country to the nation at large. Red Earth has graciously received two Native American Music Awards, and has shared the stage with groups ranging from Ozomatli to Motown’s Funk Brothers.
Red Earth’s members have been taking an extended hiatus since 2006, exploring other projects and interests. So the Electric 49 has also been absent from the Gathering of Nations’ weekend activities the last couple of years.
In the meantime, watch this! http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=125205&title=bummer-in-the-hamptons
Great Spirit, give us hearts to understand; Never to take from creation's beauty more than we give; Never to destroy wantonly for the furtherance of greed; Never to deny to give our hands for the building of earth's beauty; Never to take from her what we cannot use.
Give us hearts to understand That to destroy earth's music is to create confusion; That to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty; That to callously pollute her fragrance is to make a house of stench; That as we care for her she will care for us.
We have forgotten who we are. We have sought only our own security. We have exploited simply for our own ends. We have distorted our knowledge. We have abused our power.
Great Spirit, whose dry lands thirst, help us to find the way to refresh your lands.
Great Spirit, whose waters are choked with debris and pollution, help us to find the way to cleanse your waters.
Great Spirit, whose beautiful earth grows ugly with mis-use, help us to find the way to restore beauty to your handiwork.
Today is a time to remember. Today is a time to honor. Today is a time to be thankful. REMEMBER IF YOU LOVE YOUR FREEDOM THANK A VET. Honoring all of those who have served
