This week on SPLAB Presents, Paul Nelson has a bit of Johnny Moses from his new CD, produced at Jack Straw Productions. Johnny Moses is a Tulalip Native American raised in the remote Nuu-chah-nulth village of Ohiat on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Johnny, whose traditional name is Whis.stem.men.knee, was raised in the traditional native ways by his grandparents, and is a master storyteller, oral historian, traditional healer and respected spiritual leader. He has two new recordings, one of which is Snohomish Songs of Puget Sound. Johnny discusses the Tulalip Coast Salish Powwow Club and sings the welcome song. http://www.globalvoicesradio.org/SPLAB_20111010_Johnny_Moses.mp3
