All kids, I think, are creative, but they get it pounded out of them in school.

I really work hard to shape the song so that it's attractive... You don't want to give people the information in an enema.

By looking at the questions the kids are asking, we learn the scope of what needs to be done.

I always had wished somebody else would sing my songs, but there wasn't anybody who knew them, so I sang them myself and eventually became a better singer and guitar player.

Instead of kids just hearing about beads and baskets and fringe, and about what 'was' and 'were,' we present Native American culture as a living contemporary culture.

I was playing with sound like I would have played with pots and pans as a kid.

Some people say I was very brave, but I really just didn't know any better. All I had was my originality.
