Black Mesa Native American Tash hails from the Navajo Nation. The Bitter Water clan woman began her musical sojourn at the age of sixteen. Growing up on the Navajo Nation has left a life long impact on her perception rooted in Native logic, as she weaves in and out of Indigenous tradition and Western cultures. Her debut CD ‘So It Is’ are stories that connect with many indigenous peoples as they are of her personal struggles and triumphs.
Tash entertains a variety of audiences for the Native messages that comes through in her poetry relating to Native themes revolving around respect and healing within ourselves, other people, and our surroundings.
She gives a lot of credit in her songwriting along with her other many other creative endeavors to her grandparents up on Big Mountain/Black Mountain for shaping her values as a human being. Her grandparents, her mother and the majority of her family took the time to teach her Native roots and how to care for herself no matter what world she is sharing.
As a matter of destiny Tash picked up the guitar and began learning to play at the age of 16. She has used the guitar to uplift her spirit in times of happiness, sadness, and loneliness. But most of all her music has inspired her to put smiles on people's faces, as well as tears. She never realized the impact art has on other people until she actually learned to play music and be a part of various theatric and entertainment movements. Tash particularly enjoys playing to Native audiences from different tribes because there is a juxtaposition in many of her themes that Indigenous can to relate to.
Graduated from the Interpreter Program at Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) Tash interprets American Sign Language (ASL) at the New Mexico School for the Deaf and is a liaison and Strong Silent Council (SSC) sponsor at the New Mexico School of the Deaf. Tash is currently a student at Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in the creative writing program in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Tash has had a socially conscious career supporting fundraisers including International Peace Day, Mother Earth Gatherings, women's shelters and more. She continually offers her music for causes that are important to her. She has been outspoken for Native American, women's and deaf person’s rights and lives by example.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
many times in our lives we look for the big signs we look for miracles to catch our eye.. ..
we over look the ant and it's medicine of building the world..look for the little signs..there will be the most powerful of messages.. .. we stand somewhere between the ant and the mountain top,but the ant is just as important and just as powerful..the ant can move the mountain,but the mountain can't move itself..

When the westward wind begins to blow and the midnight moon is hanging low then lightning streaks across the sky You will hear Thunder Wolf, asti, it is I From the mountains I come charging down and you will hear my crashing sound Your hearts will fill with awe and wonder as you hear my wisdom's mighty thunder My Thunder message is for all colors and creed whether you are full blood or breed It's a message of love and peace that all hatred and prejudice should cease As my thunder shakes the mountain tops you will hear me ... the hatred must STOP Across the world you are killing each other and your greed is killing our Earth Mother Embrace the Light, come out of the shadowy dark let mercy and kindness fill your hearts Learn from wolf the gift of love and loyalty stop hate's treachery and let this message soar free Hate has no wisdom, vision nor power it comes from the fearful hearts of cowards Thunder wolf's message is to bring you together and know the power of Creator's love is forever From Thunder Wolf, my message is clear Learn to love and let your hearts be sincere For with all power or miracles ever dreamt of There is no power greater than the miracle of love My message is for all countries across the land for we are all sisters and brothers in the Tribe of Man Let Creator's Light guide you to peace and harmony Walk softly in the Light and set your spirit free
I pause along the path, The land a vision of broken mirrors and discarded dreams. Close by, the roar of mindless time Hurtles unfeeling toward an empty horizon. At my feet, the brown serpent drapes itself Amongst the weeds. Still and silent, it offers its prayer of transformation
Where once was a vessel consumed with fear There is now only a beacon of hope, Smiling at Creator's unspoken promise Now beginning to stir anew. I hear the plaintive cry of the red-tailed hawk As he circles above me. He speaks of other worlds That I might come to see.
The winds of courage are blowing fiercely And I look once more to the Four Directions To find my way.
God bless all my friends and family. May god bring many blessings to you, your family and friends.. May god bring plenty of happiness in to your life... Hugs, love, and many blessings your friend **faith** always
