Modern Day Warriors Show Saturday June 2, 2007/OKC

Culture Shock & One Innertainment
Held it down this weekend in Oklahoma City during the powwow. The show was a "Good one" starting in the CSC fashion with "Pass the Mic", an all out open Freestyle session. Then Jabee rocked his set w/Dj Pyro and did his thing promoting his upcoming album with the killa lyrics and stage show. Duo the Sick came with his new tracks and his SICK antics from somewhere else??!! (the BIG Yellow flower?) but with his baritone vocals he killed it in DuoStyle!!! Emcee One took the stage and well, that's why he Nominated fro Best Debut Artist in this year's NAMA'S. He still got the illest showmanship and new tracks with a message and vision for this generation....Ka ras ut koo koo?/Is anybody Listening?!?! I really wonder who is listening to all this?! At this point I was wondering where OKC and surrounding areas were.....we had 75 true Supporters in the place including our A'ka/grandma, Ma, auntie, sister, brother in law, nephew, niece, DrumHop, ASU softball team and some more AkiTaru/people/Tribe that are part of the Modern Day Warriors movement. Next Quese and myself took the stage and did what we do. Hope you can see it someday. The highlight of the set was showcasing our Contemporary Native talent Alex Smith & Kit Landry (Harmony Nights) who sang two beautiful Indian style harmonies and blessed the crowd with their Vocal gifts from Atias Tirawa/Supreme Father. Y'all missed it but be looking out because they comin w/us soon. They also are Nominated for a NAMA this year. To finish the show we performed the "Mekko Rebels from the Sun" anthem and the Akitaru rocked the hook with us!!! Aho Akitaru/thank you so much for the love. This Yihekvtv/songs are for the people, from Atias Tirawa. This Modern Day Warriors movement is a real simple concept, are you or not? You have to ask yourself this question. I see our people continue to conflict ourselves, oppress ourselves, not support each other in this contemporary time. But I see support for the beer companies and tobacco industry continuing the cycles of Oppression and despair. On saturday night as we rocked our show representing for our Akitaru our Tiwa ]itiks/Uncle battled as a warrior for those few last breaths before going on his journey to see our dead relatives. He chose the life of the deadly medicine/Alcohol & liquor and wanted to stop but said he couldn't, he said, Ti koo wee ka/I'm tired. He left this Mother Earth and his beautiful kids, grandkids, relations and friends to miss him way too early. He was a strong Pani Iruska with a good heart and love for his family and always encouraging. As I see my Atias/Father prepare for my Tiwa ]itiks next journey and the pain in his heart and tears as he makes necessary phone calls it makes me sad and determined to not ever stop being a Modern Day Warrior and continue to speak of the genocide, oppression, cycles of abuse and Victories happening everyday in Indian Country.
