I already had "Flash of a Firefly" and "American Indian Christmas" so when this CD came out I got it too.
As with the other CD's Jana has a beautiful voice and several photos of the singer are with the CD (the artwork on the front is very much like the photo of Jana on the back). The music isn't very "Indian" but will probably be found likeable to most listeners.
The background of the CD is the story of an Indian girl whose tribe is forced by weather to relocate ,finding a new home and living in peace with other tribes until visitors come. Generally the songs reflect this in some way and all have some sort of Indian influence to them. Most of the liner pages are brown in color with light brown lettering that make the lyrics very hard to read.
I think most have some uncredited background vocals in some language and most songs have bits in some Indian language too. #2 "The Journey" and #4 "The Sacred gift of Mother Earth" have some Lumbee but none of it is listed with the lyrics. #5 "The Hunt" has some Lakota lyrics (they're shown) but no translation. $6 "The First Celebration" is done the same way but with Oneida. #7 "The Spirit of One" has some lyrics in Navajo- they're shown and translated. This last song appears to be in part taken from from "One Spirit" on the "Flash of a Firefly" album.
For some reason several final lines of #10 "The Visitors" are listed but not actually sung- I have no idea why.
"American Indian Christmas" is better but this is a nice album to have.

This is a beautifully written album laced with the melodious echo of ancient voices. With a native sound melded with a folk-like lyric the album tells an important American story that reflects the artists cultural expertise and musical evolution.

To say that Native Americans are discriminated against does not begin to describe their situation. They are a forgotten people. In this album, Jana provides a musical perspective that will make listeners stop and think about what we have done to the original inhabitants of America. Through Jana's beautiful singing and selfless deeds, Native American children once again have reason to hope. Jana is truly a very special person.

My first introduction to Jana was her "Enlightened Time" video and I wept for joy. I listen to it every day. Caveat: I am an enrolled member of a federally recognized Indian tribe in western Washington state and her work has special meaning to me. But a lot of her songs have mainstream appeal, too. Uplifting, joyous and lovely to listen to.
