"Dear friends, Thank you for
your interest in the art and music of the indigenous North American flute.
Although I am not a tribal member, I have lived and worked on reservations for
the past eighteen years and am now a permanent resident here on the Flathead
Reservation. Of Celtic heritage, I consider myself a native American. Born in
1951 on the plains of southern Saskatchewan, I am neither a European nor
anything other than a native of this land. I feel that after being here now for
500 years the time is long passed for the dominant culture to abandon
destructive values of a perceived immigrant society and learn from the ancient
inhabitants of this land ways of harmony with the Earth and with each other. My
work with the flute speaks of this commitment." - (click on CONTINUE for
