About the song:
“Nothing New Since 1492 is an observation of the struggles that are currently frustrating mainstream America right now. Native Americans, who were not even US citizens until 1924, have always been fearful of traveling, for example. Our rights by Treaty and trust responsibility are continually taken away or changed without notice. We’ve gone through all the things that other Americans are now protesting about since 1492. This really hit home when I saw someone complaining that their government-sponsored telehealth had been discontinued during the government shutdown. I immediately thought, firstly, that’s a relatively new thing, and in the case of Native Americans, if you don’t live on a reservation, you have to drive hours just to get to an Emergency Room where your care is covered under a treaty. Yet, through ALL of this, Native Americans have been there to help. Feeding the pilgrims, fighting in the wars. But with every one of our struggles, social media responds with a couple of sad emojis while our messages are filled with requests from Americans wanting us to protest with them. We have faced these same things for centuries, and it hasn’t changed. Nothing is New Since 1492 to us. The only way we can find peace is to come together in solidarity.” – Lisa LaRue
