These Memories
Lyrics

In the reality of many realities
how we see what we see
affects the quality
of our reality

We are
children of earth and sky
DNA descendant and ancestor
human being physical spirit
bone flesh blood as spirit

We are
in time and space
but we're from beyond time and space
the past is part of the present
the future is part of the present
life and being are interwoven

We are
DNA of Earth, Moon, planets, stars
we are related to the universal
Creator created creation
spirit and intelligence with clarity
being and human as power

We are
a part of the memories of evolution
these memories carry knowledge
these memories carry our identity
beneath race, gender, class, age
beneath citizen, business, state, religion
We are human being
and these memories are trying
to remind us
human beings human beings
it is time to rise up,
remember who we are
~ John Trudell

John Trudell

John Trudell is an acclaimed poet, national recording artist, actor and activist whose international following reflects the universal language of his words, work and message. Trudell (Santee Sioux) was a spokesperson for the Indian of All Tribes occupation of Alcatraz Island from 1969 to 1971. He then worked with the American Indian Movement (AIM), serving as Chairman of AIM from 1973 to 1979. In February of 1979, a fire of unknown origin killed Trudell’s wife, three children and mother-in-law. It was through this horrific tragedy that Trudell began to find his voice as an artist and poet, writing, in his words, “to stay connected to this reality.”

Quote: I'm just a human being trying to make it in a world that is very rapidly loosing its understanding of being human- John Trudell

John Trudell Spoken Word Artist

John Trudell, Native American Spoken Word artist, appearing in Portland, Oregon, Friday May 2nd, 2008, to support the Cedars-Sinai Women's Cancer Institute. Today, in the United States, one woman will be diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer every seven minutes. That's over 200 women who will be diagnosed just today and close to 80,000 women this year. In sum,these diseases will kill 30,000 women this year alone. "How high does the body count have to go before we call this an epidemic?" asked Trudell. "In a coherent thinking society, we would recognize there is a cancer epidemic in this country. society, we would take responsibility rather than remain in denial about the seriousness of this issue" The www.givelovegivelive.net benefit is part of a growing movement to build awareness and educate the public about women's health issues in general, and ovarian and gynecologic cancers specifically.
