The songs reference the Navajo Long Walk, the Trail of Tears, and resulting drownings in the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers, and the removal of Seminole people from their homelands. These songs of resistance, with only a snare drum as accompaniment, become a sonic testimony, an acknowledgement of shared survival, and a healing call in the mother tongues.
