about

Native flute music has been here 3,000 years plus. Long ago, the Deity Kokopa aka Kokopelli crossed paths with my Hopi Nations in the Southwest of America. His melodies and chants were from various wooden flutes and bone whistles. The rain would fall and bring harvest and fertility among the Hopi people.
Poof! Here I am on another Tour through the Universe! Today I perform to enlighten and bring back my heritage for all nations and to all my relations. I’m also here from the Northwest with the Warm Springs Wasco & Nez Perce Nations - people from today’s Columbia River before the Dalles Dam flooded Celilo Falls in 1957 and the Wild Salmon runs, a way of life for 10,000 years, were taken away. Before the American Dream got here, I thank my ancestors and what they sacrificed for all of us to be here as one people today! Welcome to a trip back in time as the echo’s take you on a ride to infinity & back!
