White Supremacist Musician Greg Zola Claims Fraudulent Copyright Ownership of Indigenous Issues & His Racist Remarks

Updates - 6/8/25: Another response to WHITE SUPREMACIST Greg ATTEMPTING TO SILENCE AND ANTAGONIZE AN INDIGENOUS WOMAN BY CLAIMING COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP OF INDIGENOUS ISSUES yet again. 5/16/25: Reply to Greg FALSELY copyright striking posts sharing his screenshots again in another one of my Facebook groups! 5/15/25: Response to Greg's comments about me not understanding the context since posting this article at the end.

The latest weaponization of colonialism for white supremacists such as musician Greg Zola is to claim copyright when someone impacted by his extreme racism shares screenshots of what he said. 

How can a musician be this ignorant about copyright law and fair use? 

He is good enough as a musician to blend with others but he doesn't have enough talent, discipline, technical skill, or industry knowledge to make it on his own... Which explains why could he be this uninformed about fair use law if he is not intentionally making fraudulent legal claims of copyright ownership on Indigenous content he didn't create.

In fact when people who have actual experience try to educate him, he goes out of his way to act like he knows more than someone who has lived experience he doesn't have about that person or community's lived experience.

For example I tried to correct him as a woman of Native descent why his words about Indigenous community were offensive to us. His response has been nothing but blatant racism. 

From gaslighting to deflecting to doubling down, Greg Zola has insisted he as a white man knows more than an Indigenous woman about being an Indigenous ally and retelling Indigenous trauma or teachings. 

Now after I shared screenshots of what he said he claims copyright ownership of Indigenous content where he is not the original creator of the racism he says, but he is regurgitating racism against Native community that for me triggers my intergenerational issues from the genocide of my family and community by Greg Zola's community who continues to perpetuate Indigenous erasure. 

After I shared screenshots of everything he said to me in a YouTube video that will be shared here, white supremacist Greg Zola struck my YouTube with a copyright notice for sharing his racism towards me as copyright ownership. 

Instead of taking accountability for his racism Gregory Zola is trying to lie his way out and make false legal claims to cover up his wrongdoings to Native people. White supremacists such as Greg Zola trying to pretend like they aren't racist doesn't make them any less disturbing. 

He literally is not impacted by any of this. Greg Zola cares more about silencing Natives than addressing his racism. He doesn't care he is dangerous to be around. He doesn't care he is encouraging Native genocide. He doesn't care he is part of Indigenous erasure. He cares about making me stop talking about the harm he caused more than about not causing harm. He even lied on legal documentation to take down me sharing evidence of his racism.

According to Merriam Webster a white supremacist is "a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races." A white man who: 1. could actually believe he is entitled to own copyright to Indigenous issues he didn't create only spreads, 2. may have knowingly made a false legal claim to Native discussion to silence a Native woman, 3. thinks he knows more than an Indigenous descent woman about Indigenous issues, and 4. is going out of his way to center his white bias over Indigenous people on Indigenous issues, is the very definition of a white supremacist. If you are an Indigenous person you are not safe around Greg Zola. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/white%20supremacist

Also to any musician who sees this, if Greg Zola will claim copyright on Indigenous issues after making racist comments to an Indigenous person, imagine what copyright issues you might have if you ever collaborate with him. Protect yourself. Protect your art. Never collaborate with someone who falsifies copyright claims on material he didn't come up with. It's one thing to give people a chance, but once they show you who they are, believe them. For those who associate with this white supremacist, remember your community is a reflection of who you are. If you are comfortable in white supremacist spaces you are identifying as a white supremacist as well. Stay safe. 

Screenshots are broken down into context of conversation (#1-6), the blatant racism as/when it happened (#7-16), and Greg's choice to claim copyright ownership of his racism against me and against all Native people (#17-20). Pics of my parents, twin, and I are below that along with my concluding thoughts (#21-23). My 5/15/25 response to Greg's comments about me not understanding the context since posting this article is at the end (#24-31). My 5/16/25 reply to Greg FALSELY copyright striking posts sharing his screenshots again in another one of my Facebook groups (#32)!  On 6/8/25 I I shared another response to WHITE SUPREMACIST Greg ATTEMPTING TO SILENCE AND ANTAGONIZE AN INDIGENOUS WOMAN BY CLAIMING COPYRIGHT OWNERSHIP OF INDIGENOUS ISSUES yet again (#32-33).

Updates to come: I will be adding a video of a reading ASAP along with captioning the words in the screenshots for accessibility as soon as I am able. Will also update either this or another post if anything new occurs as well.

Where the racism against Indigenous people begins:

*Note - Chichimeca as a label is known for being a slur used against Nahua community. Many in the community do identify as Chichimeca. Others do see it as a slur. This is one of many reasons it is extremely harmful for people who are not Nahua to speak on that history. The name comes from being portrayed as barbaric. It refers to the people as of dog lineage in a spiteful way. Please always respect each person's identity, approach the subject with care, and be understanding of any triggers associated with the conversation.

Greg claims copyright ownership of discussion of Indigenous erasure

I only shared and reacted to the screenshots shown # 1 - 16 in this video which is what Greg Zola is claiming is his copyright. In these screenshots we discussed the discrimination Greg is spreading about Indigenous issues. He claims his racist remarks and our conversation on Indigenous trauma is his copyright, even though nothing that was said was an idea that he was the first creator of. He was only regurgitating white supremacist ideology.

For a white man to claim copyright ownership of Indigenous trauma is in and of itself pure hatred and discrimination for all Indigenous people. People like Greg Zola are why we are still struggling to fight Indigenous erasure. He doesn't care that indigenous erasure is a main facet of our genocide which he is helping to carry out. He simply only cares about continuing to colonize Indigenous spaces. Why else would he claim copyright on Indigenous discussion? Makes me sick to my stomach to think about.

IF YOUR ANCESTORS DON'T LOOK LIKE MY FATHER DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT INDIGENOUS HISTORY OF AMERICA.

My 5/15/25 response to Greg's comments about me not understanding the context since posting this article

Since I posted this article, Greg has spammed my post in my own Facebook group and and on my business page (he got blocked after) saying that I didn't understand the context and posting a link to a video about Kristi Noem. I have no need to approve his comments because I don't want the engagement of white supremacists on my page. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IF YOU ARE NOT NATIVE YOUR OPINION ON INDIGENOUS ISSUES IS ONLY RACIAL BIAS AND NOT RELEVANT AS YOU HAVE NO LIVED EXPERIENCE ON BEING INDIGENOUS. Why would I want to be exposed to more racism? Why would I engage directly with a racist who is deflecting and gaslighting after doubling down on racism? More thoughts on Greg telling me I don't understand the context of this below...

White supremacist Greg Zola has had ample time to stop being racist. The video I made in November 2024 was all about the importance of listening to Indigenous people on Indigenous issues that he copyright struck claiming that he as a white man owns this content on Indigenous issues.

Now instead of listening to Indigenous people on Indigenous issues, Greg Zola is claiming that him using a racial slur against Indigenous people, after trying to position himself as a source on Indigenous issues, after he told an Indigenous woman who said this is racism to get her head out of her ass, is claiming since he decided I misunderstood the context of the conversation that the racism began in (as if that negates all of his racism and his attempt to claim Indigenous issues as his copyright) that I just misunderstand what happened instead of owning up to or apologizing for his racism. What. The. Fuck.

A white man trying to cover up his racist remarks by acting as if the person he is being racist to didn't understand him is in and of itself fucking racist. Trying to whitesplain your racism away doesn't make you any less racist, white supremacist colonizer.

IF YOU ARE NOT INDIGENOUS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND INDIGENOUS ISSUES MORE THAN A PERSON WHO IS FUCKING INDIGENOUS. IT IS BY DEFINITION WHITE SUPREMACY FOR A WHITE MAN TO THINK HE UNDERSTANDS MORE ABOUT RACISM THAN A MIXED INDIGENOUS WOMAN.

5/16/25 Greg FALSELY copyright striking posts sharing his screenshots again in another one of my Facebook groups!

I had shared a link to this post in the comments of that post (#32). Copyright striking me sharing evidence of your racism along with all of my labor on discussing Indigenous genocide and Indigenous erasure is you proving my point that you are a fucking white supremacist colonizer. YOU DO NOT OWN THE COPYRIGHT TO INDIGENOUS TRAUMA AND POLITICAL ISSUES YOU RACIST PIECE OF SHIT. After commenting to tell me I didn't understand what happened?! Greg is repeating the white supremacist colonizer tactics of his ancestors by trying to whitewash and cover up the history of his racism. This is Indigenous erasure. Erasing Native voices is part of Native genocide. This is a disturbing racist fuck who has shown he will lie over and over again to try to act like he didn't do or say the racist things he did, but the screenshots don't lie. Why else would he fight so hard to cover the screenshots up? Why else would he claim copyright infringement on screenshots and my commentary of his racism against Native people?

How could a white male musician be so ignorant as to think he owns copyright to Indigenous content? Is this his white supremacy thinking he as a white man should own arguments on Indigenous issues and that he as a white man knows more than an Indigenous woman on Indigenous discrimination? Is this a reflection of his lack of ability to make it in the music industry because he doesn't even understand how copyright should work? Why would you strike an Indigenous woman's post on Indigenous issues as a white man if you actually weren't being racist if it shows what you say? Wouldn't that prove whether or not you are racist? If you weren't being racist why would you want the evidence of that taken down if I am wrong about you being racist to me? Without the answers to these questions it just feels as if a white supremacist is trying to silence and antagonize me as an Indigenous woman by claiming copyright ownership over Indigenous issues. Each of these copyright strikes hurt my ability to get my content seen. It's Indigenous erasure in real time. A digital form of our paper genocide. If I am wrong about him being a white supremacist, wouldn't that just make me look bad and not him by sharing this? You can't whitewash or cover up the truth when there are screenshots for exactly what was said. Why else would you fight so hard to take down evidence of your discrimination?

May the Wovoka Prophecy of 1889 come true. I love that Redbone's top single "Come and Get Your Love" was initially released on their "Wovoka" album.
