Sometimes songs express our feelings in a way that resonates across race, class, gender and religion. Thank you to all the drummers and singers across Indian Country who keep giving us the songs that makes us stop and listen — and appreciate. I just listened to the Whitefish Jrs., “Missing You,” a song that cuts right to the heart and emotions within. This song embodies the emotions, giving them breath, life.

We’ve all lost loved ones in our lives, due to death or some other separation. This song brings them back to us for a little while, allowing us to embrace the love, joy and happiness we shared.

Peace and prayers to all those who help us heal with beautiful songs like this.
