The songs on  N a t i v e  I n v a d e r  are being pushed by the Muses to find different ways of facing unforeseen challenges, and, in some cases, dangerous conflicts.  The record looks to Nature and how, through resilience, she heals herself.  The songs also wrestle with the question: what is our part in the destruction of our land, as well as ourselves, and in our relationships with each other?

Strange Little Girls  //  But I do understand song law. There's an ethical law if you're going to take someone else's child-work and find out their secrets. So... my relationships were with the songs, not with the songs' male mothers. I am not here to justify what the men said or didn't say. This is a commentary, this is how a woman heard what a man said.
