Interview with Joanne Shenandoah, Oneida, Haudenosaunee
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17
Grammy Award winner Joanne Shenandoah shares the significance for her in the making of the Sisters CD with her mother Maisie Shenandoah and her Aunt Liz Robert, both of whom had a large spiritual impact on her approach to music. The Sisters CD is composed of Oneida Indian hymns. Joanne also discusses the Peacemaker’s Journey CD, which follows the spiritual journey of Hiawatha and the Peacemaker, a story that teaches us about forgiveness.
Joanne Shenandoah sings two songs – ‘The Peacemaker is Born” from the Peacemaker’s Journey CD and “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” from the Sister’s CD.
