OIL SPILL OIL SLICK

Homage to Ta'Kaiya Blaney and her song Shallow Waters

Oil Spill Oil Slick is an homage to 12-year old song writer, singer, and environmental activist Ta'Kaiya Blaney and her haunting song, Shallow Waters a call-to-action—a wake up call from a young Sliammon First Nations youth warning that "if we do nothing it will all be gone," Ta'Kaiya sang Shallow Waters live for thousands attending the 2012 April Comox NO PIPELINE NO TANKERS RALLEY. She's not afraid to rock the boat.

Along with singing, songwriting, and acting, 10 year old Ta'Kaiya Blaney is concerned about the environment, especially the preservation of marine and coastal wildlife. Shallow Waters was a semi-finalist in the 2010 David Suzuki Songwriting Contest, Playlist for the Planet. The song was recorded in studio by Audio Producer Joe Cruz. Footage from Vancouver, BC was filmed by Colter Ripley. Footage of the traditional ocean-going canoe from the Squamish Nation (Burrard Inlet, North Vancouver, BC) ; Ta'Kaiya in traditional cedar bark regalia (Tofino, BC); the Oil Refinery in Burrard Inlet; and the Vancouver Aquarium was filmed by Tina House. Additional footage contributed from Canada Greenpeace and Living Oceans Society. Lyrics on Drychum channel.
