i have a story i am an Indian myself my people are almost extincted and there is no way of changing that but Charles Littleleaf music has brought lots of joy tears and i believe i brought shame to my people i have went off track i needed help getting back on. Charles Littleleaf median has pushed me back on track i have no flutes i cant really express my story. i dont have a spirit to watch over me but Charles Littleleaf does 24/7.

[boolengleng]

I admire this man and his beautiful flutes. Im glad to know he doesnt live so far away from me

[wildersara]

I have had this experience as well, about age 4. In the Copper River I saw a pink stone. I was in love with that pink stone.

[livingmirror888]

it is certainly more than music. It is the voice of nature; the voice of the wind. without words, it speaks to the heart!

[rolenstout]

Never get tired of watching this video.

[Andromelian]

oh my god he most be ones of the only man in earth that make these flutes wiw

[superspongenova]

I just got my drone flute down from the shelf after ignoring it for a year or so, and it felt good to play it, I even tried singing into it while I played. I'd love to take it camping sometime.

[danaross01]

Charles, you are such an inspiration to me. Not only as an incredible flute maker and player, but as a compassionate, caring and giving human being. Thank you for all you do !!!

[flutiegurl]

@danaross01 Thank you, Dana. But we inspire each other. :)

[skjoyner]

As a white man I find it strange that only Indian and Asian flute players music goes straight to my soul. Any other peoples doesn't do it for me, unless it's some I haven't heard yet.

[forhisglory723]

how do you get your cd ? I would love to get one. Also send me info on getting one of your flutes. Your music is medicine to my heart.

[flutiegurl]

@forhisglory723 Thank you for your kind words. You can purchase Charles' CD at his website. Search "Littleleaf flute music" at Google.

[3rdofcatjay]

[kinsanator1]

this is beautiful im so relaxed now nothing on my mind anymore

[lonewolf4540]

i could listen to Native American Flute tunes all day Lonewolf4540

[951guru]

I just bought my first one yesterday and I'm in love. I was in love since watching my first live performance of a Native music group. I will never put this beautiful instrument down.

[0crazymoon0]

I love to hear the flute and I play around with a plastic flute but they are nothing in sound or looks as compared to the wooden flutes my dad has in his collection of flutes and peace pipes. Sorry to say he does not have one of yours But still loves them none the less. Each is sentimental to him from different ppl from diffrent Indian heritages and tradings. Keep up the musical beauty from within.

[granfarm55]

Beautiful sound and man, truly healing medicine

[dognag84]

I love how the flute makes me feel. As the air travels out of me and through it, I am released into the world, into the wind. What a magical instrument and what an awesome video. Thanks so much. :)

[gamer301461]

Yo mon you can't blame your self for the death of those inosent soles. It's all of all brodda an sisstas ansestas fault. so forgive your self child because those people are with us but they are not us.

[runingblackbear]

[cellochick56]

Hearing Carlos Nakai's music for the first time spoke to me and calmed me....such a spiritual sound. My husband and I got married with that beautiful sound in the background of the ceremony which took place in our home amongst much native american art. Your music and craftsmanship are very healing Charles. The world is a better place because of this. Thank you.

[MrRayholy]

Thank you for the beautiful music.I have to ask how I can make one.I dont have the money to buy one,and i dont know how to make a flute.Bless father spirit and mother earth.Im trying hard to learn how to be a human being but there are so few teachers.

[SnowBoardNative]

I wish EVERYONE on Earth had a Native American flute

[acesonfire]

To honor all life. It will do me a great honor to some day play one of your flutes as I sit and enjoy the presance of the Great Spirit, by a stream mabey.

Wado, Spiritwolf, Phillip.

[AngelTruth2010]

[cevetts3]

I am Cherokee and Choctaw. After hearing your story and tears running in my eyes I realized that I would enjoy the flute. I am a musician and currently play the bass guitar, as I have for the last 23 years. If you could direct me to someone having the connections as to where I could get my first flute, I would be forever gratefull. This is something my heart feels and my soul longs.

[kdakuginow]

It's not a music, it's a medicine.

[fxdrdnme]

I just finished my totem for my flute block. It is beautiful and i now feel a deeper connection to my flute and the medicine it emits.

-buffalobeard

[blackcerberus999]

I haven't ever played a Native American flute before, but just recently I heard him playing one on this video not too long ago.. almost brought me to tears, I'm going to learn to play one as soon as I can.

It really reaches into your soul and brings you at peace, it's really something.

[aibhilin1211]

Charles Littleleaf has always touched my soul; this is a beautiful video. Thank you! I'm ashamed of what my ancesters did to Native Americans. Proud I am of my people, but my God...the greed. The graciousness of the Native Americans, their beauty was SO overlooked by the greed of the White Man. I just don't understand it.

[Sethanas12]

Ha, he played amazing grace, thats awesome, now I'v heard it played by both of my favorite cultures instruments(native american and celtic).

[Mastin31507]

The beautiful Flute music does something to me as well....Thank you Littleleaf, for all you do !!

[HONDAEGYPT]

For the first time in my life I saw a real Original American.

[iamearthbornami]

[Rocky1990]

the beauty is a reflection of the inner self. When you open it, transforms what you "see".

[fluteguy62]

Thank You Charles .Blessings to you and Vicky

[STiELzephyr]

YES YES YES REAL MUSIC AGAIN FEW SIGH OF RELIF ! it comes through your heart !!!

[elk322]

charles made a flute for me my grandmother bought, it has a bear influence. i dont know what key but it plays well. I am from warm springs so is my grandmother it is great to see a piece of home in a postive way.

[ltuomela]

bear is introspection and intuition...truth seeking..this is bear..like the truth in the sweetness of honey that the bear seeks, so does the truth of the music it breaths..

[DADofBILL]

"There's a Flute n my Mind ... that must be made" Thank you Charles, you've just moved set me off on a mission of my own .. your an inspiration

[bushcraft1976]

magic!!!

[andorionstar]

He looks so sympathetic to me and wish to have his CD.

[TheBigsteve1983]

"It's not music, It's medicine" wow so true

[Roncace]

I couldn't agree with him more

[Shewolfen]

he is so genuine and his words so inspirational, the music beautiful

[CanadiaNecro1]

I find it so interesting that my ancestors, Scandinavians, have so many similarities in their native culture to Native Americans. Our music in particular, the flute and singing sound so much alike. And the sweatlodge -sauna. The singing to spirits -jojk. And the sacred drums. It's an honest culture I think.

[brianl890]

That`s a good honest comment. There are many similarities between our cultures. We are all set free by a common spirit. All of us.

[fluteski12]

Charles and Vicki, I just ran across this tonight. Absolutely beautiful!!!

In song,

Sandy Czerwinski

[TheTomBurke]

Belle culture ancestrale des peuples indiens d'Amérique qui dans leur respect de leur terre, laissent par le doux son de cette flute entrevoir la sensibilité de leur culture et l'importance de leurs traditions

[TheTomBurke]

Sagesse des indiens, premiers habitants du pays, respect des terres, doux chant de la flute traditionnelle qui donne la mesure et la sensibilité de cette culture

[gilus55]

great

[wsurfs]

Glory! What healing beautiful sounds!

[Whitewolfe05]

I love Charles music, really awesome...

Great vid, great Upload, thanx so much

Greetz from Germany

~Whitewolfe~

[Wolfiemouse]

Thank you so much for sharing your art and soul with all the people.

Bless your heart.

[Roncace]

the music that comes from that ancient instrument is so touching and powerful that it helps me feel relaxed and catch my breath.

I'm learning how to play one myself

[popmusicmike]

will there be a next cd

[paulhallart]

The little leaf brings life from the big sun. It's true and we all must never forget that real music is for healing and getting in touch with the up above. Therefore we shall give the people what they need and not what they think they want.

[SingingEagle]

Osiyo Little Leaf, from one Bro flute player to another--pay it forward.................

[couerl]

Great video, thanks.

[THEBOLDCORSICANFLAME]

I am in awe and love the native indians' culture. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us. Truly Divine.

[dahanna47]

Charles' flutes and music are simply the best!!! :)

[TheUnicorn13]

nana in nana ko di na to no manani (I love you forever mi dear soul)

[talkingmonkeymere]

I have a flute that Charles made and it is an amazing. I feel so honored to be able to have a flute of this quality. I recently played two flutes belonging to a friend that were of such poor quality I felt sorry for the owner. If you wish to play the Native American flute hold out for the best and get one of Charles Littleleaf's flutes they are amazing in every way. These flutes have spirit that will fill your life with joy and spread joy to others who hear it. Thank you Charles. Many blessings.

[zoolkhan]

i wish more people would be like you littleleaf

i wish more natives would have the courage

to keep their hair free, and honor their past.

greetings from finland.

[Tachyon55555]

if you talked to me like that I would say goodbye to the white man I am, I would never hurt you no more... ever...

[Tachyon55555]

the white man didn´t know the word respect the sunflowers until wunka smashed it into his head.... I hope you fight and keep the spirit cuz the world can´t be without such beauty, I don´t care no more about materialism no more only spirit... I cannot appologize enough what we did to you back in time, we can´t but your big spirits can accept our apology... and thats the sign to who you listen to.... nothing can take that away from you, not even loss of those you love can do so....

[1LittleDeer]

Wow,,what a beauitul story!

God Bless you, Charles Littleleaf!

[ckaye1100]

right on....love the hair...love the music..love the flute...love the natives!

[groovemon]

Very wise words from a very wise man. Thank you Charles for your journey on the Red Road. From one flute maker to another. Tugooven.

[Brdstfff]

No sound reaches into my soul as reliably and directly as the Native American flute.

[bagOprions]

this is true for me as well

[mazer41]

@Brdstfff

I couldn't agree more

[ROFLpwnedvideos]

@Brdstfff

AGREED!

[dahanna47]

Loved watching this-it was wonderful to finally hear Charles' voice after all these years being one of you customers!!! All MY Best- Dennis

[youthecat]

Wow... that was fantastic! I think I heard him say more words in that video than in our whole lives in person, though. *lol*  Way to go, Charles! Beautiful story!
