DOWNLOAD EBOOK"I remember the day I lost my spirit." So begins the story of Gertrude Simmons, also known as Zitkala-Ša, which means Red Bird. Born in 1876 on the Yankton Sioux reservation in South Dakota, Zitkala-Ša willingly left her home at age eight to go to a boarding school in Indiana. But she soon found herself caught between two worlds—white and Native American. At school she missed her mother and her traditional life, but Zitkala-Ša found joy in music classes. "My wounded spirit soared like a bird as I practiced the piano and violin," she wrote. Her talent grew, and when she graduated, she became a music teacher, composer, and performer. Zitkala-Ša found she could also "sing" to help her people by writing stories and giving speeches. As an adult, she worked as an activist for Native American rights, seeking to build a bridge between cultures. The coauthors tell Zitkala-Ša’s life by weaving together pieces from her own stories. The artist's acrylic illustrations and collages of photos and primary source documents round out the vivid portrait of Zitkala-Ša, a frightened child whose spirit "would rise again, stronger and wiser for the wounds it had suffered."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLavonia (Director of Opera at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) spent the 2000-2001 academic year on sabbatical in Santa Fe, New Mexico researching Native American singing and song. The purpose of his study is to foster an appreciation for the singing and songs, and gather in one place some of the pedagogical mysteries of the vocal art of Native Americans. He focuses on those vocal practices that have been referred to by ethnomusicologists in previously published sources, and on the pueblo villages near Santa Fe. The chapters cover his experiences with San Juan Pueblo singer Peter Garcia, Native voice pedagogy, and the composition and performance of Native songs and their singers. A final chapter lists Western and Native composers and their vocal works based on Native American melodies. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSongs of Power and Prayer in the Columbia Plateau explores the role of song as a transformative force in the twentieth century, tracing a cultural, spiritual, and musical encounter that upended notions of indigeneity and the rules of engagement for Indians and priests in the Columbia Plateau. In Chad Hamill's narrative, a Jesuit and his two Indian "grandfathers"--one a medicine man, the other a hymn singer--engage in a collective search for the sacred. The priest becomes a student of the medicine man. The medicine man becomes a Catholic. The Indian hymn singer brings indigenous songs to the Catholic mass. Using song as a thread, these men weave together two worlds previously at odds, realizing a promise born two centuries earlier within the prophecies of Circling Raven and Shining Shirt. Songs of Power and Prayer reveals how song can bridge worlds: between the individual and Spirit, the Jesuits and the Indians. Whether sung in an indigenous ceremony or adapted for Catholic Indian services, song abides as a force that strengthens Native identity and acts as a conduit for power and prayer.
