I performed at the Annual Maryhill Museum Week Performance on Native Arts October 21-25, 2002.
In 1999 and 2000, I went to Washington, DC for Native American Heritage Month of November.
I performed at the IHS (Indian Health Service) celebration of the National American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month held in Rockville, MD. Currently invited to return yearly.
He also played at the Schmetzn Powwow at Connecticut's Fox Woods Casino in September, 2000.
The following February, 2001, I performed at The Art of Story Telling at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in New York City.
New York school-children were enthralled by the unfamiliar sounds. One child exclaimed, "When I listen, I can see myself as an eagle, flying high up to the sky."
One evening an older woman confided, "Every time you play your music, you take me to another place."
"That just stops me in my tracks. To be able to transport people, it's awesome!"
