Michael Bucher's New Music Video

From Native American Times:

Hot Springs, S.D. – Michael Bucher’s new short documentary music video, “Don’t Forget About Me” was filmed on location in Western South Dakota in association by 2007 & 2008 Native American Music Awards nominees (Best Short Form Music Video) Karla LaRive of PK Productions, LLC (South Dakota) and Christopher Crosby of musicseenPROductions (New York).

This is the third indigenous music video from PK Productions, LLC and features area re-enactors, Paula Tonemah and Krista Knapp. The music video was shot on location at the Black Hill Wild Horse Sanctuary’s petrogylph site, along with other regional locations including Pine Ridge Reservation in July 2008.

“The music video deals with the protection of Native burial grounds, Native grave sites and sacred sites. I try to tell people you wouldn’t want your grandmother’s grave dug up…nor do American Indian people. And, yet, it happens every day in Indian Country” says Michael Bucher.

Michael Bucher is a Cherokee singer-songwriter who was taught from the beginning of his memory the stories, language and legends of his people. His songs are intended to teach, heal and bring awareness to everyone who hears them. He sings about topics that are important to him and others in Indian Country. From the desecration of sacred sites, to Cherokee legends, to the sometimes seemingly Invisible Indian, there’s a passionate quality throughout. With strong vocals and heartfelt lyrics, his music is a blend of acoustic guitar, native and a contemporary drum, flute, shakers, rattles, bass and electric guitars, and cuts a swath through native folk, blues and rock.
