Next is Billy Sparks who sings "Warriors of the Rainbow" and "How Much Longer Will it Be". Next is Donna Eagle who sings [00:37:35] and speaks on her experience with the issue. Next is [Union?]from Amazonia who speaks through a translator on solidarity between the Cree peoples and his own. The audio cuts off abruptly.
