Who is Floyd Red Crow Westerman?

Kris Kristofferson writes: "I think Johnny Cash would be especially proud of this tribute album. Not just because of his high regard for Floyd Red Crow Westerman or his own life-long identification with Native Americans and commitment to their cause, but because it is such a respectful, loving portrayal of the man's work. Floyd's deep, powerful voice resonates with the truth. I had no idea he could sound so much like John."

Floyd Red Crow Westerman writes: "Johnny Cash was very proud of his Cherokee heritage, and was a great supporter of American Indian issues. At a benefit for the American Indian DQ University, held at the legendary Cow Palace in San Francisco, I had the great honor to meet and be on the same entertainment line-up with Johnny Cash. It was a night to remember." "To Indian people the most Honorable Americans are those who give their time and energy to Indian causes and issues. Johnny Cash was one of them."
