'This book makes an unusual contribution to the large body of literature dealing with Native American music and its cultural context. Most important, it reports on the musical life of women in one Indian tribe, helping to balance a body of scholarship that has concentrated largely on men's musical activities.'--Bruno Nettl, Choice
