Pacific Northwest Medicine Songs of the Four Seasons
Johnny Moses
Through sound, these Pacific Northwest Coast medicine songs offer a direct connection to the powers and healing properties of each season. Songs from the Straits and Coast Salish and neighboring tribes are sung with hand drum, bell, rattle, and the voice alone. Traditionally trained singer Johnny Moses (Nuu-chah-nulth and Tulalip Coast Salish, b. 1961) was awarded the 2012 Washington Governor’s Heritage Award. Before each song, Moses explains the song’s origins and uses. This cycle of seasonal songs offers insight into Native philosophy and life in the worlds of nature, spirituality, and community. 3 hours, 49 minutes on 4 CDs, 36-page illustrated booklet.
