From AudioFile:

In words drawn from the leaders and traditions of a number of tribes, this troupe of performers presents short pieces that revolve around themes of respect for the earth and sacred land. Music and sound effects work with the voices of the Native American performers to make the spirit of the words strong and clear. Chorus renditions and interludes provide interesting transitions. This performance art is based upon the bestselling book of the same name. Although quite different from the book, which complemented the text with photographs, this audio performance stands on its own in making a simple but inspiring statement.
