Native
Flute, drum, gentle finger-picking acoustic Folk guitar and
Bunny's memorable voice singing lyrics that resonate from the heart of
the sacred Black Hills, to
positively relate ancient indigenous perspectives critical for our
lives, our planet, and our future!
Country Register , distributed
throughout South Dakota, Wyoming and the Black Hills area, featured an
article about Bunny Sings Wolf in the December 2006 issue!
U-tube videos have been created, unsolicited by Bunny, to
honor the Shaman in us all!
Some have felt healing
energies in the songs I have received in dreams and from my work
with Stone Nation.
Some have called me "Shaman" for these gifts I have received and
continue to share. In
gratitude I thank you for your openness in exploring the meanings
behind words and "labels" since the dominant culture has
misconstrued the meanings and benefits of indigenous "medicine"
ways that work towards balance, harmony, abundance, peace .
Although the word Shaman is not used by ancient
Lakota-Dakota-Nakota peoples (many of whom refer to me as Inyan
Pejuta Winyan - "Stone Medicine Woman") in modern terms it is my
understanding that Shaman is a name bestowed upon those who seek
out truth behind hidden things, and those who have ability to
transform and make changes towards wholeness. Thus in many ways, if we are
growing and walking in a sacred manner, we may all be called "Shaman" by some degree or another.
I do pray all the transformations we make are from darkness to
light, from dis-ease to wholeness and wellness, from sadness to joy,
for all our relations for Blessings and peace and to honor life. In
searching for truth in all troubling situations, we manifest
healing, though painful for a time. A true Shaman understands that
suffering is a corrective! Walk in beauty, for life is the
great gift.

as a "French horn" is a particular type of musical instrument,
"Native American flute" refers to a particular type/style of musical
instrument. Also the style of storytelling dubbed "Native
American Storytelling" does not guarantee presentation by an
enrolled member of a Federally-recognized tribal member.
A reviewer with the Rapid City Journal dubbed Bunny's music as
"Lakota-inflective Folk" which aptly describes the type
and subject matter of the original music that has come to her
in dreams which she shares often with flute music (which also came
in dreams along with the lyrics and music of her songs). Her
music comes to build bridges among races of all people, Red, Yellow,
White and Black, and educate, show honor and respect for human BE-ings,
Lakota and ALL other earth- nurturing, Native American and/or
indigenous or other life honoring ways, perspectives and
cultures.
Although Bunny has a rich mix of first nations ancestry, continues
to learn from, shares with and associates with many well respected
"Federally-recognized" Native American Indian tribal elders,
chiefs, and medicine people, and she has researched the
stories and teachings that stem from cultural perspectives that she
may share in workshops or performances, please know that the
music and the original songs she shares (and the stories and
teachings that come with them) have come to her in dreams.
While she plays Native American flutes in music that is enjoyed and
endorsed by many prominent card carrying Native Americans,
Bunny Sings Wolf's music does NOT claim to be "Native American made"
as is now specified by the U.S. Government. IF it is your
desire to listen only to music made by an enrolled member of a
"federally-recognized" "Native American" musician, you may
find them through a web search.

Most
asked question:
"How
can I get a copy of Bunny's latest new songs that I heard at her
concerts?"
Most of
Bunny's ORIGINAL SONGS (upward of 320 at last count) have "arrived"
usually at 3:00 a.m., in the form of dreams since Bunny has
been living at home in the Black Hills. Waking her from deep sleep
- playing in her head - complete with words and music, she records them,
to learn and share later. In honoring this unique music gift, Bunny
feels a solemn responsibility to the Creator to use her voice and carry
these songs to as many people as possible. Lyrics of some
of these songs, yet unreleased on CD, may be found on
Unreleased Lyrics
page. If you wish to be added to the growing list of those who want to
