Turtle Island Blues sails through 500 years of American (Turtle Island) history and features Sitting Bull, who travels through space and time, Columbus, Isabella (who, disguised as a cabin boy, accompanies Columbus to the new world), the trial and incarceration of Leonard Peltier, Pocahontas, Thomas Jefferson writing the Declaration of Independence (with the help of Sally Hemings, his African-American mistress), the Trail of Tears, the discovery of the North Pole, the Battle of the Little Big Horn, Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, Wounded Knee, the murder of Sitting Bull, and other events, both in the ordinary world and in the spirit world. Sometimes humorous, at other times tragic, poignant, magical, thought-provoking, and controversial, Turtle Island Blues confronts our past with honesty, celebrates our common humanity, and envisions a future of hope, understanding, and cooperation.
