They did it again!! Led by Paul Pike of the Mi'Kmaq Nation, Medicine Dream has once more made a recording that is wonderful from beginning to end. Honoring the heritage of indigenous people throughout the Americas while looking to the future, they blend the ageless sound of traditional singing, drumming and Native American flute with the expressive energy of the guitars and drums of rock.

Back by popular demand!! What can I say?!? This recording is awesome. It combines Native American flute and traditional singing and drumming with rock and progressive sounds better than anyone else I have heard. It's fantastic anytime, but is also one I love to pop in the player and crank up when I hit the highway. Led by Paul Pike of the Mi'Kmaq Nation, their intertribal sound is a tribute to the spirit of Native peoples everywhere.

Howard has a rich voice, lively guitar style and writes thought provoking, spirit moving ballads. Blending the vocal and instrumental elements of his traditional native lifestyle with those that are more contemporary, he has succeeded in giving his original music an eclectic flavor.

Singer Joanne Shenandoah is a special guest on this recording, which was a NAMMY nominee for best folk recording in 2001.

"The music on this recording are melodies and chants rooted in the history of the Haudenosaunee (The People of the Longhouse). They were created in a time beyond memory. They were composed to honor all women since we are all the life givers of our Mother Earth." - Joanne Shenandoah

More traditional drumming from many of the former members of Full Circle Drum. They are one of the most populat drums in the Northeast.

The Full Circle Drum Society of Quinnehtukqut, the name given to Connecticut by its first peoples, is made up of many Nations. All of their songs are written in the Natick dialect of the Algonquin language, in an effort to revitalize the disappearing knowledge of the language and give hope to its continuance through times to come. This traditional drum is a personal favorite.
