This recording of 48 Native American Church Songs
of Oklahoma are sung by four of the members of the local Ponca Chapter
of Oklahoma. Oliver LittleCook, Steven LittleCook, and O.J. LittleCook
come from the Ponca & Otoe tribes of Oklahoma. Perry Botone Jr. is of
the Otoe/Kiowa tribes. All have strong traditional background within the
Native American Church, and whose fathers, uncles, brothers and grandfathers
and extended relatives were all members.
Since its formal inception as a Church earlier
this century in Oklahoma, the Native American Church has grown rapidly,
and is still growing today all across Indian Country. However, there is
still an urgent need to fill our churches with members of our Indian communities
all across this land, especially with the growing problems that are facing
our Indian youth and families today. It is with this in mind, that we
bring you these songs in hopes of inspiring our Native American brothers
and Sisters. We hope you enjoy these songs of the Native American Church
of Oklahoma. |
