A visionary journey through the landscape of Native North American music, from Tuscarora singer/songwriter Pura Fé to pop icon Rita Coolidge, from Blackfoot composer Olivia Tailfeathers and the Old Agency Singers to the traditional music of the Zuni Olla Maidens. This ground-breaking film profiles the "First Ladies" of indigenous song and pays tribute to the precious musical archive they preserve and celebrate. Through their language, heritage and homelands, the stories and songs of the women link the past to the present as they trace the voices of their ancestors. "Singing Our Stories" is part of the First Peoples' TV series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.
