People of the Willows collects work songs, warrior songs, and dances from the Mandan, Hidatsa, and other nations. Authentic recordings like "Woman's Work Song" are mixed with instrumentals like the title track, which blends piano, violin, guitar, and flute into Native American-inspired melodies. "Mandan Heartbreak Song" and "The Enemy Came as a Wolf" are also among the highlights of this collection of contemporary and traditional Native American music. ~ Heather Phares
