Wardruna Donates $14K to Indigenous Suicide Prevention
norwegian black metal band Wardruna just donated $14,000. The money came from a T-shirt fundraiser and will go to the Firekeeper Alliance. This non-profit works hard to lower suicide rates within the Blackfeet Nation and other Indigenous communities.
The donation happened after Wardruna played at the Fire in the Mountains metal festival in late July. It was held in the Rocky Mountains of northwestern Montana, specifically at the Red Eagle Campground on Blackfeet Nation land. The location was intentional.
Rolling Stone reports that the festival itself aimed to help reduce Native American suicide rates.Wardruna wanted to do their part too. They held a T-shirt fundraiser both at the festival and online. A student from the Blackfeet Nation created the shirt’s design. They sold over 500 shirts!
