On the tip, is Oregon native Nahkohe Parayno. A sixth generation Apache/Mohawk this medicinal troubadour (his Cheyenne name given to him by his grandmother) didn’t grow up on his native land, with his Puerto Rican/Indian mother, or Filipino father.
Born, raised, and blessed in the suburbs by his adopted family, Nahko found roots in music and throughout his teens taught piano lessons and directed musical productions for local high schools. His talent on the keys eventually got him signed to a seasonal production in Denali, Alaska and there, he praises, in the grandeur and majesty of the wilderness is where he began to discover his truth.
Activating his audience with stories of a humbled walk upon this precious earth, Nahko’s ability to criss-cross generational wisdom and inspire in the struggle of classism, racism, Indigenous rights in Native America and abroad, environmental justice – sparking a fire of ambition to live the change and shift with the Aina for a more sacred walk with Spirit.
Currently on a medicine music tour (for the rest of his life), Nahko calls the Big Island of Hawaii home. There he works and lives on his brother’s off the grid farm up the Hamakua coast. Cleverly weaving old traditions with modern day paradigm conditions – Medicine for the People focuses on ‘real talk’ lyrically based music – dubbed as “spirited thump-hop storytelling” – promoting sustainability, green energy, and healthy living through music.
Bailey Scott
Bailey Scott brings high energy stage presence, and inspiring visual aids of dance. Story telling by interpretive dance with the music to offer a kinetic venue of lyrical understanding. A trained gymnast, acrobat and ariel dancer born and raised on the farm in Minnesota. A singer/songwriter herself, she adds vocals, hand percussion, and descriptive movements to the band.
Being raised in the heart of conventional agriculture she understands the destruction that the current methods of farming are doing to the land. One of her main focuses through Medicine for the People is bringing awareness to the environmental issues facing our Mother Earth, and the need to shift to a balanced respectful approach to the land and it’s species. Promoting simple sustainable living through her work she is determined to spread inspiration to all, to heal individually resulting in a collective movement for a hopeful future!
Max Ribner
The Jazz fusion and funk in MFTP is brought by Connecticut native and Berkley School of Music graduate Max Ribner. His ingenious, creative, and tasteful flugle horn lines draw listeners of all ages near and his sparkling eyes catch everyone’s attention. His raw food diet has become a traditional talking point at MFTP shows and his love for simplistic living continues to show even in his music. Max collaborates with many musicians in Portland and is making quite a name for himself in various communities in the NW.
Hope Medford
The tribal and traditional sound comes from percussionist, Kentucky raised, and Portland based, J.J. Hope Medford. You’ll never meet a woman who can play the bass cajon or djembe like Ms. Medford. She has studied internationally- in West Africa, Peru (the home of the cajon drum), and Brazil and continues to be inspired by multicultural rhythms. J.J. has been hand drumming for over a decade and has been blessed with taking workshops from such masters as Babatunde Olatunje, Thione Diop, Carolyn Brandy, Antonino Balaskas, Fomodou Konote, and Mamady Keita.
Drumming is a spiritual path and the rhythm unites us all through the heartbeat. Hope brings high energy and driving beats through the bass cajon box drum and her off-stage vibrations. Hope has created environments for others to experience the power of hearing their own voice on the drum; she has co-facilitated drum circles in schools, libraries, and community centers for over 2,500 participants and youth in the Portland area. She is also an artist, a painter, community activist, certified in permaculture design, co-founder of Tryon Life Community Farm sustainability education center, a drum instructor, birth assistant, and midwife. She has been playing with Medicine for the People for almost a year, and has enjoyed all of it!
Don Corey
Don Corey Berkley school of Music grad lays down the bass line with stand up bass and electric bass. Based in Portland with his family Dunnell and new daughter Grace Moon, he stays busy with teaching music lessons and collaborating with other bands. Don brings a great presence on and off the stage with his love for music and unique sense of style.

Shout out to my brother Nahko and filmmaker Grototote for bringing this wonderful song and vision to life. I offer my continued prayers and support to Hawane for the great work being done to protect the natural majesty and sovereignty of the Big Island.
THIS EARTH IS SACRED AND NEEDS OUR PROTECTION. WE ARE HER CHILDREN AND WE MUST HONOR OUR MOTHER.

@jsmyth024
Yet another song which reminds me of WHO I AM.
It's easy to forget sometimes, isn't it?
Thank you for the medicine.
It's working, and I'm living it.
I love you guys
Everyone who reads this.
I FUCKING LOVE YOU.
Now get out(in) there and keep winning.
Let us know if you need anything.
We're here for you.

Your consciousness is itself the creator, so where is the creation when you and your consciousness can manifest the universe or multiverse?
Enlightenment is an evolved state, the idea of creation (let us) exhalted superiority, (thou shall have no other gods before me)
Immortality is based on possessing the tree of life,
Death only exists because the cure has been withheld from us,
our evolving has been hijacked through the process of being reset through death.
God is eternal within. People don't realize, that even our DNA is encoded with the word god in it.
God isn't a religion, God is an energy.
A frequency, a harmonic resonance.
That can actually be backed by science.
In the beginning there was the word, and word was SOUND! Sound = energy, light = vibration. This is why sound can heal.
Christ consciousness.
THE CR-IST.
God is omni present, meaning its energy is in everything.
Made with divine design.
Phi- the golden ratio.
Sacred geometry and even our food shows sacred geometry when you look at it close enough.
Everything has an aura and a field of energy that it produces.
This is why when people ask me if I believe in god, I tell them of course, but I'm not religious.
To not believe in god would be ridiculous, however, YOU are creator.
And your prayers manifest your intent.
With again... a field of energy, you can't see it, but you hold it close to your heart, and when you pray, with others it multiplies that field of energy, it expands and becomes greater.
Those men of old.. the men of renown the gods and demi gods of ancient times also said behold you are now one of us, (plural) meaning there were many gods at the time, as well as THESE THINGS YOU SHALL DO AND GREATER THAN I.
I AM THAT..... I AM.
Meaning you are a part of everything. And everyone.

[Verse 1]
I will go to the volcano
Melt my heart in Mauna Kea's snow
I will go to the volcano
Melt my heart in Mauna Kea's snow
Get waist deep, yeah, get barreled
All the gifts returned tenfold
I will go to the volcano
(I will go to the volcano)
Melt my heart in Mauna Kea's snow
(Melt my heart in Mauna Kea's snow)
Hell, good thing I don't require much
Makes it easier to move and stand straight up
A little tough love and the gentle touch
The more I struggle, the more I'm stuck
The less I speak, the more I know
The faster I move, the slower I go
I will go to the volcano
Melt my heart in Mauna Kea's snow
[Verse 2]
I'll water my horses like you taught me to
(I'll water my horses like you taught me to)
The Spirit guides, yeah, the Spirit moves
(The Spirit guides, yeah, the Spirit moves)
I'll water my horses like you taught me to
(I'll water my horses like you taught me to)
The Spirit guides, yeah, the Spirit moves
(The Spirit guides, yeah, the Spirit moves)
Your hair like sweetgrass, braided through
We stay busy, we always do!
My developing state of consciousness
Endless roads to nothingness
And cities filled with emptiness
And crowds of faceless ignorance
I'm over it, I'm over it
Pull up my anchor, sail my ship
Countless ways to feed my kids
Countless ways to route my trip
I'll harvest this and replant it
Harvest this and replant it
Oh Oh!
[Chorus]
Like when the mother met the father
Kissed the horizon and gave birth to stars
Or when the lovers turned into thunder
Then came the breakthroughs
Then came the storm
[Verse 3]
Well I'll keep traveling 'til my heart finds peace
But even when it does, I'll keep moving
'Cause there's so much to see
Ground beneath bare feet
I love the dark-lit loneliness
My greatest teacher, peacefulness
The wolf I bear the forest with
The ever-present kiss of mindfulness
Compassion wets my every step
Well the puddle shimmer and reflect
And I hold my shield up, must protect
Well a suffered heart suffered neglect
Initiate this son of God
(Initiate this daughter of God)
Make us work and feel each part
(Make us work and feel each part)
Initiate this son of God
(Initiate this daughter of God)
Make us work and feel each part
(Make us work and feel each part)
Nurturing my Jurassic heart
Galaxies in these birth marks!
Initiate my father god, let him die, let him move on
Initiate my mother god, let her live forever strong!
Aho!
[Chorus]
Like when the mother met the father
Kissed the horizon and gave birth to stars
Or when the lovers turned into thunder
Then came the breakthroughs
Then came the storm
Then came the storm
[Bridge]
What a beautiful life!
Looking through these eyes
What a beautiful life
Dreaming with this mind
Without the lens of mankind
Without the crutch of my sight
I can pierce through the night
Surrender into the most high
I can reach to the heights
I and I and I and I
[Outro]
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life! (Oh, yeah!)
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life! (Oh, yeah!)
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life! (Oh, yeah!)
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life! (Oh, yeah!)
(What a beautiful life)
What a beautiful life!
What a beautiful life!
What a beautiful life!

@throwaway5545
For those who were wondering, I Mua (Ee mooah) means, most simply, to move forward. Depending on the context, it can mean physically moving forward or spiritually moving forward, to grow.
@deannalanakila143
