The Cuyahoga is a river that runs through Cleveland Ohio. During the battles with American Indians in the late 1800s the US Cavalry dumped hundreds of bodies in it. Hence the river red line and the Indian imagery. In the 1970's, the city of Cleveland had polluted the river so bad, that at one point it ended up catching on fire. I think that what Michael's saying here is throughout american history, we destroyed the native people and then we went and destroyed their land. He' saying we oughtta fix things while we still have time. Learn from the mistakes of our forefathers etc.
