Two Time Grammy Award Winning Native American Musician and Emmy Nominee Mary Youngblood is Half Aleut (Port Graham, Alaska) and half Seminole. (Hollywood, Florida) Mary was the first Native women to record the haunting Native flute, a role that has traditionally been limited to men, (...depending on one's 'Nation.") Classically trained on several instruments, Mary Youngblood has been playing the flute for over 40 years, and is one of the premiere Native American flute players/musicians in the country. Winner of numerous awards, she garnered the 2002 GRAMMY for Beneath the Raven Moon.

You can also hear Youngblood on her 2004 Grammy Nominated- Feed the Fire, Heart of the World and The Offering. On May 23rd, Mary released her latest album "Dance with the wind," (2006 Grammy Award Winner- Best Native American Music Album) Mary writes: "The trees have given a voice to me, the voice that sings to you now." Her eclectic musical style evokes feelings of freedom, and gratitude for the blessings of life, our Dance with the Wind.
In 2008, Mary was nominated for a EMMY Award for 'Composer,' for her work in the documentary The Spirit of Sacajawea. The film won two Emmy Awards, for Production and Editing!

Mary, Thanks for accepting my request. Although I've got several MySpace pages already online, I created LEGEND AND LANDSCAPE to focus attention on my 2nd album by the same name. It's an ambient ode to the beauty of the lands once ruled by the Kumeyaay and Cahuila Nations.
By the way, I've enjoyed visiting your page and will return to it quite often this summer. Happy to be friends!
