naturally, the concert's theme revolved around indigenous issues. the show opened with john trudell reciting poetry accompanied by a native american chanter. next, jackson browne made a special appearance singing four sings, one of which from his new greatest hits collection.

after a 20-minute intermission, indigo girls took the stage, kicking off their set with their latest hit, "shame on you." they then dug deep into their repertoire to perform "tried to be true," a song from their first album.

during their eight-song set, indigo girls did not lose focus on the night's main purpose, including native american influenced songs like "scooter boys" and "shed your skin."

bonnie raitt, after another brief break, finished the concert off with a powerful and moving set. indigo girls joined her on stage for "angel from montgomery."

all the performers took the stage for a rousing final encore, reiterating the reason for their participation, with buffy saint-marie's "bury my heart at wounded knee."
