Text about Little Hawk:

Millions have heard the Native American flute music of Kenneth Little Hawk through his recordings, films, and live performances. His Native flute sound can be heard in the award-winning films, "Lewis & Clark" and "The West," directed by the highly acclaimed director, Ken Burns. Little Hawk has performed with many world class musicians, including the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra and the Westchester Philharmonic, as well as, recorded 5 albums over the past 10 years. He is a cultural treasure who spreads his message of harmony throughout the world and has performed at distinguished venues such as Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, the National Theatre and the American Museum of Natural History. In 1998, he was invited to meet the President at the White House for a special screening of "Lewis & Clark" and received a replica of the Jefferson Medal of Peace.

Text about "The Talking Tree" CD:

The Talking Tree CD is the second time Little Hawk has collaborated with Cherokee drummer, Thunder Bear. In 1996, they recorded a world music CD, "First Light," as a result of performing around New York City in a group that promoted “its connection to all life through it's musical offerings.” The band was called Sinhtala which is an Inuit name for spiritual energies on the surface of the Earth.

Little Hawk and Thunder Bear reunited in October 2006 to record "The Talking Tree" which is an acoustic album of original music. The project evolved into a celebration of nature, featuring the Tree, which is the source of both the flute (tree branch) and the drum (tree trunk). The result is an inspired set of 16 tunes with a bonus recording of Little Hawk telling his "Talking Tree" story of generosity and respect. The album also features carefully placed nature sounds recorded in the Waitomo forest of northern New Zealand by award-winning sound designer, Dan Dugan of Partners in Rhyme.
