The Message

The Good Message

Joanne Shenandoah

Choreography: Friendel Kloke-Eibla

Joanne Shenandoah is an Iroquois singer and acoustic guitarist. Her music is a mixture of traditional songs and melodies with a blend of traditional and contemporary instrumentation. 

From her album "Peacemaker's Journey", track 1 speaks of the Peacemaker (Skennenrahowi). When he was born, a white stone canoe carried him to the original people - The People of the Longhouse (Iroquoia). Track 2 asks that the Good Message - the spread of peace - be sent to the Five Nations.
