Ochikiwa translates as "come from there; be descended from _" in my tribe's language, Sauk. When I wrote this song I had a lot on my heart about the language and the responsibility I have to help preserve my heritage and environment. When coming up with the title I felt deeply all the challenges my ancestors faced, the choices they had to make to survive and pass on their knowledge. As an artist I've always been inspired by stories of revolution, defending our land/water, and reclaiming sovereignty as people. I believe that returning Land back to Native and Indigenous tribes is a key factor in solving our ecological crisis. Decolonization is the next step in our evolution and returning land rights to tribes will usher in a new era of ecological restoration. One led by ancestral knowledge and facilitated by methods that can truly bring humans and nature back in harmony. A portion of the funds received will be donated to NDN Collective, which aims to build the collective power of Indigenous Peoples, communities, and Nations to exercise our inherent right to self-determination, while fostering a world that is built on a foundation of justice and equity for all people and the planet.
