LAFAYETTE, Colo., June 14 /
Red Elk
Enterprises/Blatz Music today announced that Red
Feather Woman (aka Rose Red Elk) won a "Nammy" at the
Eighth Annual Native American Music Awards in the
Spoken Word category. Her recording, The Keepers of
the Earth, was selected from five finalists and
announced at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel in
Hollywood, FL. The Nammy awards were established in
1998 to help promote and preserve Native American
music throughout the United States and around the
world. The organizers of the Native American Music
Awards helped establish a Native music category in the
Grammys in 2000.
The Keepers of the Earth includes four Native American
traditional stories and four original songs inspired
by these ancient tales. It includes special guest
Native American Flutist and 2003 Grammy winner Mary
Youngblood and was recorded and produced by
internationally known producer-solo artist Doug
Haywood. Haywood is a former member of Jackson
Browne's band (1972-1992), and has worked with many
pop music giants, including Linda Ronstadt and Bobbie
Gentry.
Internationally acclaimed and an independent artist,
Red Feather Woman is one of the leading Native
American storytellers, singers, songwriters and
authors. She was born on the Fort Peck Reservation in
Poplar, Montana, and is an enrolled member of the
Sioux/Assiniboine tribes. Rose has captivated
audiences for more than 20 years, singing and telling
traditional stories to children and adults of all
ages.
Red Feather Woman is dedicated to keeping the Native
American culture alive, and is the recipient of
numerous awards for panel speaking, contemporary
music, speeches and storytelling about traditional and
modern Indian culture. Her audiences include schools,
churches, corporations, museums, theaters, music
festivals and universities throughout the United
States and Europe.
Red Feather Woman's soon to be released album is a
very special combination of the past and present,
blending traditional stories, Native instruments and
traditional musical themes with contemporary folk and
rock sounds. "Distant Drums" is due to be completed in
the summer of 2006. CDs can be ordered at:
www.redfeatherwoman.com , as can the Nammy winning CD,
"The Keepers Of The Earth." Red Feather Woman will
appear in September in Milwaukee at The Indian Summer
Festival. For bookings, contact Kathy Link
