The music video &#8220;Stand Up \/ Stand N Rock #NoDAPL&#8221; was recorded by Taboo of Black Eyed Peas and &#8220;Magnificent Seven&#8221; Native American artists from different tribes, including Zack &#8220;Doc&#8221; Battiest, <span class=\"xn-person\">Spencer Battiest<\/span>, Emcee One, Drezus, PJ Vegas, SupaMan, Natalia Aka &#8220;My Verse.&#8221; The song serves as a statement of support to those who have embraced the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in their fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). Native American actor <span class=\"xn-person\">Martin Sensmeier<\/span> and pipeline activist <span class=\"xn-person\">Shailene Woodley<\/span> also make appearances in the nominated music video. <\/p>\n<p>Taboo, who has Shoshone Tribe heritage, and other Native American artists including those from the Seminole Tribe of <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span>, banded together to create the song, which is meant to serve as both a tool to promote awareness, as well as an anthem for the indigenous people across the country who have united in the effort against the DAPL. The video features real footage from the water protectors on the front lines at Standing Rock, and looks to rally people from across the country and draw together the Native communities of <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span> in an unprecedented way. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The purpose of this video was to shine the light on this very important cause \u2013 pairing that with recognition from MTV is incredible,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Spencer Battiest<\/span>, Hard Rock Records alumnus, member of the Seminole Tribe of <span class=\"xn-location\">Florida<\/span> and one of the &#8220;Magnificent Seven.&#8221; &#8220;This song is the only one nominated without a record label, which I think is very powerful and special \u2013 and we&#8217;re proud to be doing our part to raise awareness for native issues.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The addition of the &#8220;Best Fight Against the System&#8221; category was added to the 2017 MTV VMAs to continue reflecting the audience&#8217;s passion and activism around social justice issues such as environmental justice, immigration, LGBTQ equality and racial justice.
