After a break, watching a video of the Solidarity Singers in 2011singing, “This Land is Your Land…” Erika talked us through our need to honor the indigenous people who were on this land before white settlers arrived – and how the meaning of this song could be interpreted politically in 2011 as a protest song about who is running the government – Whose House, Our House.
