Rochester heard some real singing last night

Battle River, my brother's drum group sang some great songs last night at Native American Day sponsored by  Rochester Public Schools.  Rochester had a taste of Native American drum music that it has not heard before.  Great attendance though few native students came and not the 61 families we hoped to reach.  It will take time.  I attribute this to the relatively few indigenous peoples that reside in Rochester and because Rochester does not appreciate the rich Native American heritage that it once had.  I guess that will take time too.

Thanks Glory of the Morning.  Your history though largely unknown has helped me have courage.
