My name is Randell W. Morris. I present you with 38 Native American Church songs. I reside in Mexican Springs, however, I was raised in Coyote Canyon on the Navajo Nation. My parents are William and Evelyn Morris. I am born to the Folded Arms People and born for the Edge of the Water People. My paternal grandparents are of the Towering House Clan and my maternal grandparents are of the Taachiinii Clan. I was brought up to respect and practice Navajo traditional ways and attend Native American Church services. Both traditional and religious values were instilled in me by my parents and grandparents. My paternal and maternal grandparents also had a strong influence on these values, since within this family lineage there were medicine men and healers. Hence, from both lineages there spawned successive generations of healers and medicine men. Both traditional and religious practices in my family are a way of life, and they provide an unfaltering foundation that sustains our everyday lives.
