The Lubicon Lake Nation has been fighting for 50 years for 
aboriginal title to their traditional lands in Northern Alberta. They have
faced extensive oil and gas development and now forestry which has destroyed
their traditional economy and way of life. Syren and the Eagleheart Singers
are celebrating the release of Let Them live, a benefit cassette for the
Lubicon.  Join us at the release concert and support the struggle or
sovereignty and self-determination.

The new single release by Syren and Eagleheart Singers/Drummers is now
available.  "LET THEM LIVE" is a coming together of past and present, a
collaboration of traditional and contemporary musical forms.  This is a
benefit recording in support of The Lubicon Cree of Northern Alberta who are
embroiled in a fierce land claims struggle to preserve a centuries old culture
and economy.  If the Lubicon Nation should fail in their fight, the
environmental ramifications are enormous and catastrophic:  the last of a
pristine wilderness would give way to a clear-cut wasteland of oil gas and
pulp production, leaving a community of people destroyed -- stripped of their
identity and means of survival -- a significator of our own fate if we allow
the natural kingdoms to be violated and basic human rights to be ignored.  In
keeping with the enduring wisdom of Native thought, it is the intention of the
composers to create an atmosphere of unity and solidarity, so necessary at
this pivot point in Lubicon history/human history -- each culture working
together for a distinct, peaceful and fruitful co-existence.
