What drives me?


We Have spent our own time creating our own content and media... creating our own studio for the project. More Headsingers... More elders, more Ladies of Bird than one "on the spot" interview can ever cover..

What drives me are people like John Peabody Harrington the Anthropologist... getting it wrong early on.This anthropologist was studying our people in the past in the early 1900s.

Some the accounts that he wrote down for scientific purposes of research of the people that are new to his culture, were accurate and have some significance to researchers that want to know an account of what happened in our Native worlds.

Although his view might be skewed towards Europeans high watermark, one thing he didn't take into account of having more than one families opinion per tribe. He recorded songs we hear today influencing Grad student research in modern times along with his bad research.

I Cringe every time I hear anyone say. "if it wasn't for him recording songs or writing anything down we would not have anything left". This statement makes me sick to my stomach. It's truth only lies within the result of their Occupation.

The truth is that this research is EVIDENCE of what was lost due to the Two Occupying influences. If it wasn't for Those arrivals... We Would have had all that should HAVE BEEN PASSED down from our relations and not a

WAX CYLINDER.

Which sadly, I must admit to some it has become accepted as Doctrine

While researching for We Are Birds, we have accounted for multiple stories from different individuals of bird singing, and have developed a view of birds singing well above what is Known unless your IN IT.

Giving Dignity to the Native Culture I come from as I would expect it for me.. Respectful, Accurate and Authentic.
