Since people first appeared on Turtle Island the land has echoed with music. Animated by the spirit of their surroundings, the land's first people honored with song each living creature, each vital aspect of life. Medicine men and women used music to heal; song and dance proceeded the hunt or battle; pounding drums and chanting voices fused into a magical vibration that expressed the nature of the land. Messages woven into song united generations and sustained the indigenous community's balance with the earth.
