NORTH AMERICAN INDIGENOUS CULTURES 

STOP HERE !!   STOP HERE !!   STOP HERE !!

 

 Statement From Shannon Thunderbird

My website dispels myths, stereotypes and biases by offering AN ACCURATE world view from an "Indian" perspective. The Internet is full of inaccuracies! I am not here to accuse; you are not here to apologize for often tragic post-European contact relationships. My website simply casts a truthful light on a people who have been neglected in North America's history, and overall view of itself. You should leave this site with, (a) more informed, mindful views of the vibrant Indigenous cultures that continue to thrive all across Turtle Island, (b) the heavy price Native people paid and continue to pay, and (c) a renewed appreciation of the role of Aboriginal people in the rich cultural diversity that IS Canada.  Wilwilaaysk, All My Relations.

Simply Google, Shannon Thunderbird for a look at some of what she's accomplished over the years.

"We had Shannon at Northern College and everyone loved her presentation. Shannon and Sandy are awesome ladies." (L. Wesley, Aboriginal Student
Co-Ordinator, Northern College)

"How can I thank you enough? What luck for us to have met you - your work, presentation and greetings taught us so much, and re-enforced for me why we all work so damn hard!  The opening, closing songs were an inspiration. The session was educational. The choir was magical! We look forward to working with you in the future. (A. Adair, Former Executive Director, ArtsSmarts)

 "Thank you so much for the performance at our Canadian Symposium for Arts and Learning this week. The audience was just wowed by your performance, and we so appreciate it!"  (S. Robertson, Canadian Network for Arts and Learning)

 

"What a pleasure it was meeting you during your FAME visit! You are such a wonderful, wise and beautiful woman and I truly enjoyed learning from you! You are a fascinating storyteller that just leaves you wanting to hear more." (T Irmscher, Foundation of Music and Arts Education, Fort Wayne, Indiana)

 

"Shannon is passionate about bringing her peoples' story to the youth of Canada. I have observed her workshops many times...and she continues to engage our young people in a very memorable interaction. Her message is one of understanding and respect and her workshop on the teachings of the Medicine Wheel dovetail beautifully into the Character Traits teachings in our schools. Shannon is a vote for wisdom and tolerance." (L. McGregor, Foundation for Enriching Education)

 

"Shannon Thunderbird and Chris McKhool have modeled passion for music and building strong community spirit, inspiring our students to reflect about their personal understanding of respect and responsibility. Such earnestness and thoughtfulness from the children astounded the teachers. The Artists, cleverly put each group of student's words to music that was distinct but easy to learn. So, Chris and Shannon created a venue for all children to feel safe and valued while performing. Teachers noted that shy students responded more confidently. The hardest to teach students were engaged. Best of all, we can recall these songs to enjoy again and again."
 (C. Watts, Teacher/Co-Ordinator, C.E. Webster)
