Fictional character biography
Blackfire (band)
Blackfire is a Navajo (Diné) traditionally-influenced, musical group composed of three siblings: two brothers and a sister. Their high-energy style melds traditional Native American and punk rock into an "alter-Native" attitude with strong sociopolitical messages about government oppression, relocation of indigenous people, ecocide, genocide, domestic violence, and human rights.
History
Beginnings (1989–1993)
Blackfire was founded in 1989 by Jeneda, Klee, and Clayson Benally, three siblings born in the heart of the land struggle at Black Mesa on the Navajo Nation. Their mother was a folk singer, and their father, Jones Benally, was a traditional medicine man who raised them on traditional Native songs. Not surprisingly, their children followed suit and have been playing music since "their instruments were bigger than they were." To this very day, Jones and his children perform as the Jones Benally Family, either as a part of or separately from Blackfire performances, which are always at all-ages venues, to display their "traditional form of dance, song and story that has been carried on from the beginning of time...including histories of ceremonys [sic], hunting, agriculture and the foundation of the Diné Culture."

Prove Them Wrong
by: BlackfireSo many years of misinformation propaganda, lies,
Manipulation they've played us like fools
For too long now it's time to prove them wrong
A motto, a mascot there's no respect the bottom line
It's ignorance you push me, i push you we wont take anymore
Of this abuse it's about time we spoke our minds
You can't justify genocide genocide!
So many years of misinformation propaganda, lies,
Manipulation they've played us like fools
For too long now it's time to prove them wrong
Relocation, assimilation we need to unite against them
They take our culture, they take our land
Now it's time to take a stand
They stereotype, generalize ive had enough
Its time to fight it's time to fight!
So many years of misinformation propaganda, lies,
Manipulation they've played us like fools
For too long now it's time to prove them wrong
A motto, a mascot there's no respect the bottom line
It's ignorance you push me, i push you we wont take anymore
Of this abuse it's about time we spoke our minds
You can't justify genocide genocide!
So many years of misinformation propaganda, lies,
Manipulation they've played us like fools
