I can't say enough good things about this CD. It was the precise blend of good rock and American Indian music I was looking for. I've never found another CD of this kind of music...let alone one that is this excellent. In a culture where everyone has an opinion about what a "real" Indian is, the "real Indians" that make up Mawio'mi give us an aural insight into what Indians really are. They are human beings like the rest of us with hopes, dreams, pains, heartaches, and longings for the future.

This cd is such a feast for the heart. It lets out your pain and sings and dances you through it. It's like a massage for your heart and spirit.

And if it is relevant to any of you reading this, I am Choctaw and Irish. Oh, and my 65 y.o. mother loves this as much as I do. Don't hesitate to put your money out for this one. You won't be sorry.

Mawio'mi is a tribute to the spirit of Native people everywhere. It combines rock and progressive sounds that express the beauty of the ancient ways. This is a beautiful blend of the old and new. I highly recommend this pioneering album!

I would just like to say that Medicine Dream appreciates all the support we've recieved from the many people worldwide that took the time to say what our music means to them. This music has not only changed our lives, but also the lives of many other people. It is an honor to share it with all of you.

Medicine Dream with Paul Pike is one of the best Native American "today" groups that incorporates the feel of the Native American with today rock and roll music.
