I am a Coast Salish Native of the Lummi and S'Klallam Nations in the Pacific Northwest of Washington State. Throughout my life I have traveled the United States, Central and South America to work with Indigenous Peoples. These songs I offer to you represent the heart and strength of my Coast Salish roots and express the influences, inspirations and experiences of my travels to other lands. I hope these songs inspire our younger generations to answer the call to lift and carry on the teachings of our ancestors; a way of life firmly grounded in dignity, integrity, love and caring for a future that depends on these qualities.
