Oh, I love it! Loved the video….having Native friends ourselves, and experiencing a bit of their culture, this really is heartwarming to me. Thank you so much. Yes, Tansy Xoya, Raven Tanu Xoya, and Raven Puppet do have a strong bond now. Their music is just so penetrating.
Isn’t it a great video! Tansy is so lucky to have been to Haida Gwaii, and learned so much from her trips!
Such a well made video…so much new information. thank you. And how lovely that Tansy has made such good friends with the Ravens.
Tansy was so pleased to be remembered, and hopes she will be able to meet up with Raven again!
