About
“WHO’S GONNA SAVE YOU” is a music picture produced as part of Native Children’s Survival’s Project Protect Awareness Campaign. The campaign was created to share the warnings of our ancestors and serve as a poetic call to consciousness for the restoration of life in balance.
“WHO’S GONNA SAVE YOU” premiered on SABC Africa in 2011 during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP17) in Durban, South Africa.
The music picture was broadcast on ABC’s Heartbeat Alaska in North America, screened at the Harwood Museum of Art in Taos, New Mexico, and at the Santa Fe Film Festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
In collaboration with the American Indian Law Alliance and the Seventh Generation Fund for Indigenous Peoples, “WHO’S GONNA SAVE YOU” was screened at the “Honor the Rights of Mother Earth” event during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. The event was held in the ECOSOC Chamber at United Nations Headquarters in New York.
Funding was made posibile through contributions from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, Ceur d’Alene Tribe, Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe, Yuhaaviatam of the San Manuel Nation, Red Lake Nation, and the Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri.
The single and the music picture are available on our Village Market. 100% of profits support the work of Native Children’s Survival.
“The Alaska premier of ‘Who’s Gonna Save You,’ by Robby Romero, brought a new excitement to the Native community of Alaska. With the radiation of Fukushima arriving on Alaska’s coast, the music picture launched a sense of urgency along with the added excitement of having a world class musician/activist in our midst.”
“Who’s Gonna Save You”… a captivating plea to the human conscious for love and respect of our Mother Earth and the life She sustains now threatened by climate change. A beautifully composed and choreographed film that one does not forget nor dismiss… a call to action by the Indigenous Peoples of the world.”
“Robby Romero’s passion for the earth and humanity courses through his music and his activism. ‘Who’s Gonna Save You’ is an elegant reading of that passion.”
“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.”
