I bought my first guitar in Thunderbay (Canada) while hitchhiking across the country with my soulmate and niece Christine. (summer 2009).
The following ride we were picked up by an incredibly nice man, a native American soul, who took us to his home. They live in reserves. There is much to tell about that. My song was created in the car during the drive from Thunderbay to their house. Arriving there, we were warmly welcomed by his family.
In this song I honor and value these dear people and their beautiful homeland.
