| We, at Waking Spirit Flutes, would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the 2004 Nammy Nominees for their participation. In our view you are all winners! We would like to honor all of the Nammy participants (not just the winners) for helping to advance the Native American flute. With your help and participation you are furthering the preservation, promotion and education of this cultural instrument by breaking new grounds for the Native American flute and crossing many new frontiers. Thanks to you all for your magnificent efforts. This amazing instrument is now beginning to rank amongst the other more established instruments of the world! You have proven that you need not be full blooded Native American to have the heart and visions of the Native American peoples - after all Native culture decrees that we are all brothers and sisters! What better way to share the versatility and peacefulness of the Native American flute than to bring it's voice and music to the world. Wa Do! E Do Di (Grandfather) will be very pleased with all of his children. Congratulations to all! |
