Juno award-winning rock duo and indigenous rights champion Crown Lands released their latest song today, the third track in an ongoing story about the plight of First Nations people in Canada and their first release since winning Breakthrough Group of the Year last month at the Junos.
White Buffalo is a powerful song about “rising up” and taking back their lands from the colonizers and was penned by Cody Bowles, the drummer and vocalist for the band who also happens to be half Mi’kmaq.
“To all my relations, White Buffalo is the third installment in a saga of songs about Indigenous rights,” Bowles said. “When colonizers came to North America they tried to wipe out the Buffalo. The Buffalo are still here. We are too, and together we’ll overcome.”
