Day 20. Songs for the Earth – Music as Medicine.
From powwow drums to contemporary Indigenous hip-hop, music carries the stories of the people. It heals, teaches, and reclaims. Each song is a heartbeat of resilience, a bridge between generations and worlds.
Artists like Supaman, The Halluci Nation, and Pamyua blend ancestral rhythms with modern beats, showing that culture evolves without losing soul. These songs are medicine – infused with gratitude for land and kinship with all being
Unitarian Universalists know that music can awaken spirit and sustain struggle. When we sing together, we participate in that same healing tradition, using rhythm and harmony to remember our shared belonging to the Earth.
“Our songs are alive. When we sing them, they heal the world.” — Northern Cheyenne teaching
