“We touched down in crescent city; Jazz, blues, and me; Oceans rising higher and higher; As the arctic melts into the sea; Gathering clouds surround us; In poverty of violence and greed; Who’s Gonna Save You”

“Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.”
“Climate change is possibly the biggest challenge the world now faces. Robby Romero (Apache/Tewa) of Taos, New Mexico, is a leader on the issue as a voice for Indigenous peoples.”
WHO'S GONNA SAVE YOU is a song and music picture featured on the deluxe edition eco-pac CD/DVD of the same title. The single was released 21 December 2012. In honor of the Rights of Mother Earth, a screening of WHO'S GONNA SAVE YOU was presented by Native Children's Survival, The American Indian Law Alliance, and The Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Development, during the Twelfth Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The event was held in the ECOSOC Chamber at United Nations Headquarters in New York.
WHO'S GONNA SAVE YOU was broadcast on SABC Africa during the 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP17) the Conference of the Parties on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa and on ABC's Heartbeat Alaska in North America.
“21 December 2012 marked a celebration of the end of an ancient mystic cycle and the recommencement of an Indigenous call to consciousness for the restoration of life in balance.”
