Wardruna have donated over $14,000 to the Firekeeper Alliance, a non-profit group supporting Indigenous communities and suicide prevention efforts in Browning, Montana. The Norwegian world music collective raised the cash by means of the sale of a limited-edition t-shirt designed by a Blackfeet Nation scholar, with greater than 500 models bought each on-line and on the Hearth within the Mountains competition in July.
“It makes us profoundly glad and proud to see that the Wardruna group all around the world responded with a real need to help the Firekeeper Alliance, their trigger, goal and work,” stated Wardruna in a press release.
“True light-work is about daring to call and face the shadows, the darkish and the ache. Thanks Firekeeper Alliance in your necessary work with suicide prevention. It was deeply shifting to see the optimistic ripples of this work at Hearth within the Mountains. Maintain the fireplace burning!”
The t-shirt design, created by Reb Pollock as a part of the Heavy Music Symposium for youth in Browning, represents resilience, rootedness, and the fireplace inside the Southern Pikunni. Firekeeper Alliance director Charlie Speicher described the collaboration between the competition, the non-profit, Wardruna, label By Norse, and AISAmusic as “probably the most highly effective relationships I’ve been part of.”
“This help of our mission and the work we’re doing means loads to us,” Speicher stated. “From the very backside of our hearts, thanks. This gesture… goes to translate on to making a safer world right here for our family members. Please know that your love, help, and generosity has lifted our group to permit us to assist our group in methods we by no means dreamed can be doable.”
