Rare.......2007-01-08

I gave the music 5 stars for one reason - there is so little Native American music to choose from. I have a VHS called "Spirit" which has Native American influenced music and dance. I happen to love the CD and the VHS.

The CD is not the music one would hear at an Indian gathering; rather it is updated to suit the American culture and it brings to mind the history of North America and it's indigeinous people without being boring or trite.

I found it relaxing and emotional, well worth the investment. Now I'd like to see the movie.

The one that started it all . . ........2002-09-13

This is the CD that started my journey into contemporary Native American and Native American influenced music. The documentary was very well done and informative, it's worth watching if you ever get the chance. (Did you know there were 500 distinct nations here when the Europeans came?) The sound track, however stands on its own whether you've seen the show or not. By far my favorite of Peter Buffet's Native influenced works (and there's nothing wrong with any of them). You can almost see the history through the music. While carrying certain themes throughout you can hear and feel the difference between the missionary period and the military period, etc. To be honest I can't tell you which songs are "better" because I always listen to the entire CD from start to finish. It is a journey you should take as well.

The more you hear, the more you will like.......2000-01-26

If you like Spirit Dance, you will love this. Since his album "The Waiting" I got all of them. I bought this CD in 1996 and it still one of my favorites. It is the type of music you would buy again if you lost it.

awesome music.......1999-12-04

I havent heard it yet But anyone who is and wants to teach the world of culture through music,It should not be said to go bach to his old stuff ..... Sandy Grant p.s. I have seen "Spirit of the Dance" Video it is awesome and very moving

Spellbinding........1999-09-26

I learned of Peter Buffet when I saw Spirit, a Journey through Drums Dance and Song on PBS. Since then I have become a great fan of his. 500 Nations is a moving, soulful piece of work with songs that reach out and tug at your heartstrings. It has some wonderful artists on it and Chief Hawk Pope's vocals are the epitome of the Native American Voice. No doubt about this one folks...buy it!
