Cheyenne Legends CD
With eyes closed and the feather-tipped "Talking Stick" in hand, Eugene Blackbear, Sr. quietly relates the stories of "Sweet Medicine" and the "Legend of Devil's Tower." Eugene, 71, also known as "Yello Bird" was born in Watonga, OK. A respected cheyenne elder, he is a Cheyenne Arrow Priest, Sundance Priest, a Fasting Priest, Native American Church Priest and Sweat Lodge Priest. Bear Butte is known as a sacred place to 17 tribes of the plains: the Lakota, the Cheyenne, and Kiowa to name just three. It is a central landmark in the spiritual landscape of North America. The Indian people treat it with the utmost reverence, the way a Christian might regard Bethlehem. The prayer flags and tobacco bundles are left as offerings of gratitude to the Creator. The people come here to fast and pray and connect with something larger than themselves. For Indian people, they are coming to church.

Cherokee Warrior Stories CD
A lone Cherokee warrior looks across the Holston River at a European settlement that has invaded his country. This beautiful painting by Talmadge Davis illustrates the frustration the Cherokee felt as they tried valiantly to stem the flow of white invasion into their country. Once again, Gregg Howard, noted Cherokee teacher and storyteller, retells the stories of these brave men and women who fought to save their homeland - stories of battles between the Seneca, Iroquois and Americans during those turbulent years between 1700 and 1839. But more than that, this CD is a tribute to all American Indian veterans who have fought and died for these United States since 1812 - for the Cherokee who were finally permitted citizenship in 1921, for other displaced tribes in 1924 but not until 1946 for reservation Indians. The latter due to the efforts of the Comanche and Navajo in defeating the Japanese in WW II. These are their stories.
