Iskwewak is soulful ... a celebration of woman, especially indigenous woman. An album that captures the ups and downs of the journey of womanhood ... an invocation of the goddess.
Some songs have a modern lyrical twist ... in English, that can easily be understood by the listener.
A unique Native American album that really got my juices flowing and enlivened my spirit ... I felt like a guest at a woman's POW WOW ... and we all were enjoying each others' company and swopping stories.
This album will resonate with many woman and many of the songs I love, although the lyrical content in some of the songs is quite sad. Fawn Wood is extremely talented and I love listening to her, however I do hope that the next album has more love songs. More songs like track 12, Pledging My Love & the lullaby track 6, Mommy's Little Guy. These are my favorite songs on Iskwewak.
Wood is a strong woman, who embraces the nature of woman ... sharing her gifts of song with everyone. Thank you Fawn, for this lovely album. Your voice and music are beautiful!
