The time was upon us. It was a quarter to nine o’clock, and we were about to miss our favorite band. I felt the butterflies as they grew in my stomach. When Dan and I approached the main stage we saw “Nahko & Medicine for the People” setting up. The butterflies bounced off the inside of my stomach as Nahko spoke into his microphone. He spoke of his home land, Mauna Kea, which is a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. He mentioned how the inhabitants of the island, protested the local authorities to withdraw from building another observatory. He spoke admirably of the natives, and how they came together as one to protect the land they viewed as sacred.

The child was holding a small hand painted sign that said “I Believe In The Good Things Coming.” (One of Nahko & MFTP’s song lines.) That young child, who stood before me, sang and twirled with all her
