show. I learned so much about First Nations people. It just took my breath
away. Thank you for sharing
the stories.”

Rolling in the Mountains Testimonials"Oh my, words fail me. I had no idea of the hardship of the Nez Perce, and this was only one tribe! My students were very quiet in class as they tried to process the story. Your performance was mesmerizing and the soundtrack really dramatic. Thank you for educating my students on what we don't teach and should. It was awesome." (Teacher, Toronto, ON) "Drawing on her Pacific Northwest Coast Tsimshian roots, Thunderbird's mesmerizing emotional impact on audiences arises from her three and a half octave range, storytelling ability, and deep involvement with First Nations issues. Her drumming, original music and lyrics, stirring repertoire, presentation and luscious voice make her one of the most in-demand performing artists on the current scene." (King Weekly) |
