Episode 4: Over the River, Across the Bayou, to the Heartland We Go!

More Video! -- Featuring Local, Organic Music

Here's another video – they're going faster than hotcakes now! Episode 4 is our first tribally-focused video, covering our stops with the United Houma Nation, the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation's Native American Health Symposium, Haskell Indian Nations University, and the Haskell-Baker (Wakarusa) Wetlands.




This episode, like all of our videos, features very special music. Jason Pitre, the son of Houma's Principal Chief, Brenda Dardar Robichaux, was kind enough to give me an album of songs of the Medicine Tail Singers recorded live at the IICOT Powwow of Champions, which he mixed himself. The album is called "We Sing For You," and for further information about the singers and Jason's recording business, Native Rhythms, you can contact him at nativerhythms [at] yahoo.com.

I'm trying to feature musicians local to the places we're visiting in each video documenting our trip. Please check out their web pages, give their other songs a listen, and support them, as well as the local music scene where you live!
