Theresa Bear Fox, the songwriter, dedicates "Sky World" to those who have lost a loved one.
There is a sacred peace I find when I watch the Sky World Video and reflect on the life and death of my son. It feels right that he is now part of the Sky World living with the same strength, flow, beauty, and joy as I experience in the power of this performance. —Mary Ann
Let’s put our minds together as one
And remember those who have passed on to the sky world
Their life duties are complete they are living peacefully
In the sky world, in the sky world
They will never be forgotten, no more pain, no more suffering
In the Sky World, In the Sky World

Their life duties are complete
They are living peacefully
In the Sky World

Teio Swathe is the singer and the dance is performed by Christian Parrish Takes the Gun, an Apsáalooke rapper and dancer known professionally as Supaman. Supaman will discuss Native American issues through looping art and rap Tuesday, April 3 at 7 p.m. 2018 in the Mankato State University’s Centennial Student Union Ballroom. I'm thrilled that he is coming to Mankato and hope to bring him back next year for a performance of the Sky World. Supaman is a master of engagement with powerful rap lyrics that inspire personal growth and community compassion.
