Ronii Wata
Ronii Wata is a musical superhero. Seven generations ago his ancestors were Ojibwe Mohawks living off the land in Southern Ontario. By the time Ronii was born there was no trace of his aboriginal gene left in his blood. Instead he was born as, Adam from a middle class english father and an impoverished french Canadian mother. His parents had split up moments after Ronii's birth. He was taken into the rural areas of Ontario where his mother would struggle with relationships and try to pay the bills in order for Ronii and his brothers to survive. Ronii remembers winters when the power would be shut off and they would rely on a wood stove to keep warm. During that time Ronii lived near a reservation on an island where locals would drive across the ice in the winter time to get food and go to school. His best friend lived on this island and he remembers wondering why there was such a divide between the folks on the island and the people on the mainland. He learned that people were not as open minded as he would have liked to believe. There was racism and a sense of ignorance among the mainland folk who would believe that the native people were nothing but a bunch of drug abusers and complainers who would not adapt to the colonial way of life. Many non-native and natives as well believed that it was best to keep quiet about the whole situation and go about our daily lives without question. There was a history of a culture and tradition that was being taken away and once forced out of the people. This led to the numbing of the mind and a meaningless and mediocre life. It was plain to see the diets and the lifestyles had led many folks to the culture of heavy metal/gangster rap, ATV driving, and excessive lifestyles that led to much needed holistic medicine. Ronii Wata moved out to Vancouver, British Columbia to find inspiration for the best approach to bring these matters to light and co-exist in a world with different beliefs. Moving out to B.C. Ronii has been exposed to the downtown east side where aboriginal women go missing on a daily basis and the homelessness and drug problem is more out of control than back in Ontario. Ronii Wata asks for the people of the Americas to understand what is happening and to do something about it before we loose ourselves completely within the mess that we have all contributed to.
