i met annie about 4 years. she is a sweet woman. she sings another song about a native american woman...if anyone knows it please let me know. i can't remember the name.

I think the song you are looking for is called "Falling Down and Falling Apart". It's on her album entitled The Heron Smiled.

History in Music can reach where talking closes doors, and it stays longer than the spoken word....It carries like a powerful wind into the hard heaetsd.

I hope and pray with all my being that one day there could be a TRUE leader one with the values, integrity and know how to just stop the exploitation of the people that still continues from with in it's corrupted self governments. Go back to the fundamental teachings without the pollution of "corporate greed" not the need to accumulate for some sorta financial gain but to be a leader for all yet for one common goal..

maybe one day I cant be the only one with a dream :(

After an oppression of people and culture hundreds of years in the making whats really left but a handful of elders with teachings suppressed, languages lost and ways forgotten a genocide that continues to this very day!!

What a sad truth & reality..I have always wondered who my mother would have been if it wasn't for the residential school she endured?!. For that matter how would we as a people would have adapted to change if we could have been allowed (so to speak) to just live the the only way we never knew, in connection with earth and it's communities. A way we and generations to numerous will never know.
