Abstract

This time, under the theme "Social Sustainability" - A member of the Cheyenne-Arapaho tribe, he sings about Native American traditions and, in his songs, denounces the living conditions and injustices that Native Americans still face today—issues he addresses with brutal honesty in his autobiography, “There Will Be No Surrender”.
