 A young man named Dancing Raven is the best dancer from all the Nations, but his passion is not recognized by the other men and boys in his village and he is refused the woman he loves. The men consider hunting and fishing to be the best talents. Finally, Grandfather Cedar gives Dancing Raven a flute and a song. Dancing Raven shares his music with the village, his love, and her father. The story of the first flute is shared far and wide. A prologue tells that the story was passed on to Jan Michael Looking Wolf by his uncle Standing Elk. Stunning illustrations add to this beautiful tale. Included is a CD with readings of the story in English, French, and Dakota, as well as music played by Jan Michael Looking Wolf, a renowned and award-winning Native American flute recording artist and performer. Poetry, music, and art make this uplifting tale very special. mjw |
