FOR THE GENERATIONS - Robert Mirabal

Grammy-winner Robert Mirabal performs the tracks THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW and HOLDING UP THE SKY from his album IN THE BLOOD and talks about how identifying with mainstream Native American artists helped him from becoming a "statistic" growing up among the last 2,000 Tiwa people on the Taos Pueblo.
