Northern Cheyenne flute player Joseph FireCrow made his first flute by hand almost 40 years ago. Playing it offered deep inspiration and connection. But he says ego and vanity caused him to eventually lose sight of his own talent. He lost that first flute and his passion to play. Years later he started making and playing them again, and this time he was mature enough to live up to what he calls “the standards of what a Flute Man is.” To commemorate his performance at the Native American Music Awards, we’ll talk with him about his music, career and the instrument he loves.
Guest:
