PROTECTORS ANTHEM | Microchild feat Jonah Hånom | Nihi Indigenous Music

Описание: PROTECTORS ANTHEM is a uniting call to our sacred obligations as protectors across the Marianas and Micronesia as well as a reminder of the rich legacies that we carry. As our homelands face further destruction from rapid militarization and industrialization, we root in the beauty of our islands and people and are carried by the love and courage of the land and water protectors who came before us. Fanohge – we rise!

6.7 million rounds of ammunition will be fired annually over Guam’s aquifer which supplies 85% of our island with clean drinking water. This resource is essential to the health and sustainability of all who call and will call our island home. The threat of mass lead-contamination of this ancient, primary resource is iminent.
