Social media and young people, art, music, all communications make this one of the most active times for activism. It will be a time of change.

I didn't really know what I was doing when I started. I just started writing songs. After two songs I just continued to explore it.

Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.

Five hundred years later we're still doing it. This is a moment where we're either going to reaffirm that's what we do [with Native Americans ], that's who we are, or we're going to start moving toward change. A change won't come easy, because there's a lot of big money that doesn't care about any of this.

Bad news is just an excuse.

Freedom of choice is meaningless without knowledge. That's why it's crucial we all get engaged and get informed.

You gotta keep changing. Shirts, old ladies, whatever.
