RENO, Nev. (AP) — Members of a northern Nevada tribe play a supporting role in a new music video by rock star Peter Gabriel.
Drummers and dancers from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe north of Reno are among more than two dozen artists worldwide who appear in the video remake of "Biko."
Gabriel first recorded it as a tribute to South African anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko. Biko was killed in police custody in 1977.
Tribal Chairwoman Janet Davis told the Reno Gazette-Journal it was an honor to be part of the project. She says there's a new awareness today of the same sort of racism that has oppressed people for centuries.
