From The Olympian article, quote from Erin Genia, good thing for people to know: what happens at Idle No More events isn't available for cultural pillaging -

Saturday’s demonstration began with several songs accompanied by drums in the crowd. The first song was performed by a Squaxin Island Tribe family.

“That song belongs to a specific Squaxin family that cannot be used by anyone else,” Genia said. “We were honored they gifted that song for that moment.”
