Trade Review
“Swann has put together a collection of Native songs that were nearly lost. . . . There is a great range and variety here, and a common ground: open forms, organic rhythms, and a tendency to incantation and rich imagery. The matter is of the land and living, of links with the past and hopes for the future. Swann’s volume will give many good reasons to sing."—Library Journal
