Boozhoo (hello). This is my first track that I am uploading onto this platform. I am excited to be here and share inspiring messages of interconnectedness. I am introducing myself in the Anishinaabe (Indigenous) language and sharing a bit of hand drum protocols before singing. I like to sing the Manitoo Makwa (Spirit Bear) song to welcome Spirit in at the beginning of a gathering and ceremony. Please feel free to check out more info about me on my profile. I really look forward to hearing from you and I welcome your questions and discussion.
