I’m Polish by birth, American by choose, and Native American by heart. I was adopted by a Mohawk elder as his brother 7 years ago. Shortly after the adoption I was given the Native name of Soaring Owl. Although I was adopted a Mohawk I follow and study the traditions of the Lakota. I have been an artist making crafts representative of the planes Native Americans for better then 15 years. I have collaborated with a brother flute player Keith Little Grizz to produce our first CD. The CD is titled “Two Hearts” and has been available since May of 2005. Our CD has solos from each of us including duets that were written by each of us. They are contemporary compositions in nature. They are the sounds of the Native American flute that often times can be heard late at night at Pow Wow grounds while the dancers and vendors relax and share some quiet time before the next day’s festivities. One of my other passions is to make my own flutes. My art and crafts are available for public viewing at http://www.geocities.com/soaring_owl2003 . I have several “Flute Galleries” posted on that site and it gets updated as new items become available, so please visit the site occasionally because it is constantly changing. The flutes are one-of-a-kind and for my personal use. On occasion I have been known to gift a flute to an upcoming flute player as encouragement to continue on the path of the flute. Keith Little Grizz has been one of the recipients of such a gift and has used them in our recordings.
