Yokva from Yokva by Dweller on the Hill

Inspired by a journey to Chaco canyon in New Mexico, exploring the beautiful landscape and ruins of an ancient society. I got into an argument w/ an "Oil Man" on the plane back to Seattle who had been bragging about hitting golf balls from his boat into the protestors in kayaks blocking the Shell oil rig's entry into Elliot Bay. I had friends in that protest and I myself would have been there if I wasn't already in NM. Later that year the DAPL plans and protests began and by the time I was in the studio for this EP it was a full on war against peace, against the Indigenous Peoples who the westerners annihilated to put a price tag and a jesus fish on every natural resource this land had to offer. This song is inspired by the atrocities western colonialism has brought to the entire world, especially the Indigenous People of the Americas.
