Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately. The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness. We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are.

Well, another kick in the stomach to the P&S era. Mess.

"The most agonizing and atrocious thing is when she throws her "eagle staff", a very very sacred object in the Native American culture, as a spear. Learn the ways if you are going to portray them."
And let's not get into the rest of the video, yet they researched to not come off offensive. Yeah okay, can't pee on me and tell me it's raining.
