Lavonia (Director of Opera at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) spent the 2000-2001 academic year on sabbatical in Santa Fe, New Mexico researching Native American singing and song. The purpose of his study is to foster an appreciation for the singing and songs, and gather in one place some of the pedagogical mysteries of the vocal art of Native Americans. He focuses on those vocal practices that have been referred to by ethnomusicologists in previously published sources, and on the pueblo villages near Santa Fe. The chapters cover his experiences with San Juan Pueblo singer Peter Garcia, Native voice pedagogy, and the composition and performance of Native songs and their singers. A final chapter lists Western and Native composers and their vocal works based on Native American melodies. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).

"Indian Singing in 20th Century America is a book of poems about finding ways to endure in a confused world. It celebrates cultures that understand the need for ceremony and that respect the Earth as the supporter of life. These poems are based in old traditions rooted in the American continent and even when they talk of personal matters are informed by the experience of indigenous ways of seeing. They are, however, clearly planted in contemporary American experience and record the survival of a people who continue to show strength even though they often face great loss and adversity"--from Preface.

"I remember the day I lost my spirit." So begins the story of Gertrude Simmons, also known as Zitkala-Ša, which means Red Bird. Born in 1876 on the Yankton Sioux reservation in South Dakota, Zitkala-Ša willingly left her home at age eight to go to a boarding school in Indiana. But she soon found herself caught between two worlds—white and Native American. At school she missed her mother and her traditional life, but Zitkala-Ša found joy in music classes. "My wounded spirit soared like a bird as I practiced the piano and violin," she wrote. Her talent grew, and when she graduated, she became a music teacher, composer, and performer. Zitkala-Ša found she could also "sing" to help her people by writing stories and giving speeches. As an adult, she worked as an activist for Native American rights, seeking to build a bridge between cultures. The coauthors tell Zitkala-Ša’s life by weaving together pieces from her own stories. The artist's acrylic illustrations and collages of photos and primary source documents round out the vivid portrait of Zitkala-Ša, a frightened child whose spirit "would rise again, stronger and wiser for the wounds it had suffered."

The focus is that learning about other cultures can enhance the understanding of one’s own culture by comparing traditional and modern societies. Gerry R. Cox addresses the centuries of injustices committed against American Indians that led to a neglect of learning about American Indian cultures and attempts to fill the gaps in knowledge of American Indian practices.
