NotesNative American musicians and friends are featured on this album benefiting the Gwich'in people of Northern Alaska and Canada. This tribal culture is threatened by ever-encroaching industrial developement. Portions of the proceeds will go to the Gwich'in Steering Committee and the Alaska Wilderness League to help preserve the endangered environment in which the Gwich'in live.
Indigenous Groups Peacefully Entertain In Support of ANWR
Oddly enough most of the selections here are performed by Southwestern USA Indigenous singers and bands in support of ANWR, a vast North Alaskan wild refuge where caribou migrate, clean rivers transport fish, and Indigenous Alaskans subsist. Oil companies want to develop this region, risking the ancient, fragile way of life. Relaxing, beautiful chants and drumming music is enjoyable. This CD is a real treat. Recommended.
