BIO

The son of Mohican-German parents was born on the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation in northern Wisconsin. His Mohican name is

Fush-Ya Heay ("Bird Song")


Grammy award winning artist Bill Miller, is inspired by his native American heritage, for inspiration, but is not limited by it. Rather, he takes his message across genres and international boundaries through the traditional culture of storytelling, music. His message of hope and reconciliation is clear, and he communicates it through his music, his live performances and his visual arts. An international ambassador of song and hope, he traveled last month to Israel to perform his symphony, a work that resonates with themes of anticipation and resolution. Bill is the first Native American to enter the classical arena. He has been met with universal acclaim. It is no accident his clear, and calm uplifting message resonates with many. Just ask Vince Gill, Tori Amos and Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam just a few who seek him out.
"Prayers For The Truth," states all that the Native American Indian community hold sacred, while offering forgiveness to those that nearly annihilated an entire people.

REVIEWS

Cohocton School District - Wayland, NY
From PR Director:
Brenda – Thank you very much for bringing Mr. Miller to our district. I know how very lucky we are to have had him in our midst and hopefully his spirit will stay with us for a long time.
In a small rural community we have received a wonderful gift of an inspirational artist, if only for a short time, and we are blessed and a little better for having been in his presence.

Are you positive you will not have a baby born with spina bifida or any other serious health condition?

95% of the babies born every year with spina bifida are to mothers with NO personal or family history of such defects.

The Spina Bifida Association reports of the 65 million women in America EACH ONE is at risk of having a baby with spina bifida or some other neural tube defect.

Since over 50% of pregnancies are unplanned, if in ANY way you're not certain you are at risk you must get The Spina Bifida Prevention Formula.

This e-book reveals why you may be at risk. Plus provides a timeless, proven formula that goes with the natural wisdom of your body to help lower the risks of birth defects while improving your health. whether or not your planning to get pregnant.

This is a must for EVERY woman that is of child bearing age. Don't take the chance like 8 women did today that now have children affected by this horrible condition.
