Boulder, CO - Red Feather Music, one of the largest producers of Native American music is proud to announce the production of a compilation recording of new music by some of Native America’s best known artists. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the recording will benefit the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) and the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. Artists such as Joanne Shenandoah, and Rita Coolidge and Walela will be featured.

In light of the cowardly attacks of September 11 that resulted in the tragic loss of lives and property, the Native American Rights Fund has requested that the Red Cross share in a portion of the proceeds. "Native peoples are compassionate by nature. It is time to put our differences aside as we extend our prayers, love, and deepest sympathy to the families and friends who were touched by this event." said John Echohawk, NARF’s Executive Director.

This recording will be the second one produced for NARF by Red Feather Music. The first, Emerging Power, was released last year. Emerging Power was a New Age Voice Music Award finalist for Best Compilation Album of 2000 and has been nominated for Best Compilation recording by the Annual Native American Music Awards 2000.

The Native American Rights Fund is a national non-profit organization that provides legal representation to American Indian tribes, individuals and organizations nationwide in the areas of the preservation of tribal existence; the protection of tribal natural resources; the promotion of human rights; the accountability of governments to Native Americans; and the development of Indian law and educating the public about Indian law, rights and issues.
