HANOVER, NH - The Native American Program, and the Hopkins Center at Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH are pleased to announce that on Friday, May 10, 2002 at 8:00 p.m. in the Spaulding Auditorium - Joanne Shenandoah and Robert "Tree" Cody will be performing.

Shenandoah and Cody are two First Nations popular artists. They will share with all, a special evening of songs and stories. Singer/songwriter Joanne Shenandoah has been called the "most critically acclaimed Native American singer of her time." She will be accompanied in this special concert by two musicians. Shenandoah is known for her fluid, soaring vocals and songs deeply resonant of Oneida Iroquois teachings. She was named Best Female Artist in 1998 and 1999 by the Native American Music Awards and her recent Grammy-nominated album "Peacemaker's Journey" sung in Iroquois, is emblematic of her philosophy: "Our music is healing, eternal, earth conscious...[and].. will resonate around a world which needs Native music..."

Flutist Robert "Tree" Cody has built on his Maricopa/Dakota dance heritage to bring First Nations music to Europe, Asia and South America. Also a renowned singer, dancer and storyteller and educator, Cody has released eight recordings, winning the '99 Native American Music Award's Best New Age Album. At the Hopkins Center, the ethereal sounds of his flute along with the movements of a guest "fancy dancer" evoke the spiritual essence of the traditional 'red road.' Presented in conjunction with the Native Americans at Dartmouth's 30th Annual Pow Wow.
