Michigan musician, songwriter and water protector Samantha Cooper became one of over 900 defendants in the struggle to stop line 3 this past summer. She was invited to stand with Indigenous leaders, upholding their treaty rights and protecting the natural resources guaranteed to them under federal law. After spending a month in Minnesota, Sam created an interpolation of a song called "Tomorrow" by Miner. Her video single is a love note to the rights of Manoomin (wild rice). The song "Let the Wave" features Frank Bibeau - the Attorney in a historic rights of Manoomin case unfolding in Minnesota. This track also features artists Shara Nova of My Brightest Diamond, Jaike Spotted Wolf of Camp Migizi, and Holly T Bird of Title Track, as well as contributions from Seth Bernard and Dan Rickabus. Check out the song, streaming everywhere now! /// State of Water is a program of the Michigan-based non-profit organization Title Track, and is powered by the Clean Water Campaign for Michigan.
