Black Belt Eagle Scout announces third album with new single "My Blood Runs Through This Land"

"My Blood Runs Through This Land" follows last month's "Don’t Give Up" single, and is teamed with a Evan Benally Atwood-directed video shot in the ancestral lands of the Swinomish and Coast Salish. Both releases will appear on Black Belt Eagle Scout's The Land, The Water, The Sky album

Black Belt Eagle Scout, real name Katherine Paul, says of the single, ""My Blood Runs Through This Land" is about the connection I have with my ancestors. When I run my hands through the rocks at Snee Oosh beach and dip my fingers into our waterways, I am reminded of where I come from. Paying attention to all of the sounds and the feelings I get when I am immersed in trails of cedar trees and canoeing out on the water deeply grounds me and strengthens my bond to my lineage of the Swinomish tribe. I wanted the delicateness of these moments to meet the intense reality of the history of my people. I like to imagine my blood - all of my ancestors - running through our homelands freely and powerfully."

The Land, The Water, The Sky will follow Paul's 2019 second album At The Party with My Brown Friends. She says of the new record, "I created The Land, The Water, The Sky to record and reflect upon my journey back to my homelands and the challenges and the happiness it brought."
