Here’s another sort of “national celebration”: people gathering to celebrate the customs and cultures of indigenous peoples. From the YouTube website:

Anchored by the drum and vocals of the seven-time Grammy nominated Northern Cree Singers, DJ Shub’s “Indomitable ft. Northern Cree Singers” re-introduces the world to the musical prowess of this award winning music producer and title earning competition DJ.

 

Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.

So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.
