Kanenhi:Io The women of Kanenhi:io represent several nations within the First Nations' people
and live in the Wahta Territory in Ontario, Canada. The name Kanenhi:io is a
Mohawk word, meaning "the good seeds", which represents the songs,
teachings and good way of life that the group shares with all others. In their
five years together, Kanenhi:io promotes unity among nations, A philosophy evolved
from the relationship between diverse nations of the women singing and travelling
together. They share their songs with First Nation communities, Women's Healing
and Wellness Conferences, international music festivals and Native Friendship
Centres in Canada. As members of the Iroquois Singing Society, Kanenhi:io perform
workshops about the drum, ceremonial songs, social songs, and teachings of the
Spirit. Kanenhi:io's music is a series of uplifting chants accompanied by the
Iroquoian water drum, hand drum and cow horn shakers. The Kanenhi:io CD is a
blend of traditional songs, harmonies, and sounds composed by the lead singer
Wathahine. The music collection was nominated for the Canadian Aboriginal Music
Award for best contemporary/traditional CD. The recording was made possible through
the Music Section of the Canada Council. |
