i thought the music video from this artist was very powerful. it combined traditional outdoor settings that were tranquil with the harshness of manmade machines and helicopters chasing and catching the wildlife. the message in the chorus asks "what in the world have we done to deserve this" and i think this has a strong meaning as she links this question to her native american heritage and the destruction of american land and wildlife. i like the way the video was filmed and my favorite part is when it cut to her performing a traditional dance because i feel like the shot linked her to her culture. i also like when she did the chalk drawing because it looked as though she was channeling her anger into something positive which was her artwork. 

music is a way to express oneself and i think she got definitely her point across.
