Good mix of contemporary/traditional sounds!
I bought this through Amazon along with another CD (thank you for the free shipping!) and I really like this music! The more I listen to it, the better it gets. I will concur with another reviewer who said if you are expecting traditional music, this may be a bit more contemporary for your tastes. Some of the songs have English words, but even those that don't are wonderful to hear again and again. My favorite is "Wash Your Spirit Clean."

Constantly on my top 10 list
If I were stranded on a turtle island and I could only bring along 10 cds, this would be on my list. Whomever chose the songs that ended up on this collection is also welcome on my island. :)

The music is fairly far reaching in its scope with the possible exception of all the vocalists being female. From some traditional songs with only a drum accompanyment to contemporary poetry atop music, this CD has burned itself into my own mind with its lyrical and intriguing music.

I'm not all about native American music. Still, this CD makes me want to hear more. Simply stated, it is excellent.

Fantastic!
I purchased this Cd with the hopes of hearing the Native American laguages spoken or in this case sung. This is a great Cd. I have learned the words and now sing along. I only wish that they had provided a translation page so that I knew what I was singing. This is a must have for anyone that loves native music or just loves great music.

Wonderfully ecletic collection.
An excellent sample of songs from the North American continent.
The CD contains some excellent tracks and is a very good starting point from which albums of the artists featured here can then be purchased, for example Sharon Burch, Walela and Joanne Shenandoah.
However the album works well as a collection in its own right with a suitably varied colection of cntemporary North American women artists.
A CD that will bring joy to the ear from the sheer beauty of the music.

Nice for more poppy fans
This is nice music. It unfortunately did not suit what I was looking for though. I was looking for more authentic native music. This contains a few authentic native songs but most are more pop than anything else. The music is still nice, as I said, if you are looking for pop. I still do not regret the buying of this cd because it made me discover one of the most beautiful tunes I ever heard. Ulali. It`s a trio. Incredibly intense and magical and beautiful and strong. Them I will get a cd of.
