Sovereignty Sound

Nepal’s New Prime Minister, Former Rapper Balendra Shah, Sworn In A leaked report on the deadly violence and mass arson that broke out last year has put the new leader under pressure to ensure accountability.

Stella Standingbear is charting at No. 37 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart with her single “Mmhmm,” marking a rare entry for a solo Indigenous artist on U.S. radio.

The Oglala Lakota and Afro-Indigenous artist has built her rise independently, including her Off The Rez Tour featuring an all-Indigenous women lineup.

Her recent release of the “Mmhmm” remix featuring Paul Wall has further extended the track’s reach as it enters national radio rotation across the United States.

Gaining national attention with performances and appearances at major platforms and events (Trippie Redd, On The Radar, Phoenix Suns), Stella has amassed millions of streams and airplay in recent months.

Her Off The Rez Tour resumes May 12 in Billings, Montana, with a special appearance in Albuquerque on April 25 at the Under the Native Stars festival.

What Is a Year, But the Turning Earth,
Where Time Folds Into the Land.

What’s a year? A turning, a tide.
To the Saxons, it was not “nothing”, it was ġēar, the cycle of seasons, the wheel of work and rest. Time moved in loops, not lines. There was Gēola (Yule) in the darkest days, when the sun stood still and kindled hope. Then came Eastermonað, when the earth stirred and Eostre walked the land in blossom and beast.
Līþa brought the long days, and Hærfest the first fruits. Even Winterfylleþ, when the moon marked the start of winter was part of the rhythm.

It wasn’t just dates, it was sowing and reaping, light and shadow, the dead and the living turning in their own time. So yes, it’s all time. But it isn’t nothing. It’s the breath of the land. A year is how we remember to listen.
