Contemporary folk/acoustic rock duo the Indigo Girls famously said years
ago that they are activists first and musicians second. Their words have
trailed them since that declaration, and Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have
lived that attitude.
On May 21 in Shiprock, N.M., the Indigo Girls will be throwing their
activist support behind the proposed Desert Rock Energy Facility, a
coal-fired power plant slated to be built on the Navajo Nation 25 miles
southwest of Farmington. Ray and Saliers will perform a benefit concert
called Honor the Earth. The intent is to lend support to grass-roots
American Indian groups working to prevent the building of Desert Rock.
