She journeyed through the upper Mohawk Valley into upstate New York and settled in the Catskills. There, Little Hawk's grandmother married his grandfather, who was Mohawk and Cree. Little Hawk was raised by his traditional grandparents. In his family, it was part of his culture for the oldest to look after the youngest. He was taught he was a reflection of his elders, so his behavior with the young ones was critical. Little Hawk believes that since all humans live together on this planet, we need to honor, cherish, and preserve our home. He teaches all must work together to mend the global hoop that encompasses all two-leggeds, four-leggeds, winged ones, and plant life. He also teaches respect for differences as well as appreciation for the 'common thread that binds us.' When he performs, Little Hawk says, 'The most important message is that we can make choices to live in harmony with one another and we can make choices to live in harmony with the environment.' PROFESSIONAL SKILLS STORYTELLER: Little Hawk shares his culture, traditions, and musical instruments in a storytelling format. Native Americans tell stories to teach responsibility, respect, and how to live 'In a good way.' He performs for a wide variety of audiences, including young children, teenagers, college students, and adults. He has performed on television, on radio, at museums, Native American events, storytelling festivals, The Kennedy Center, The Lincoln Center, and at schools for thousands of children. He feels it is a great privilege to share his culture with children as children hold the key to protect and respect all living things. Little Hawk is especially gifted in working with people who are physically, mentally, and emotionally challenged. Some of his greatest contributions have been with autistic, learning disabled and homeless people. RECORDING ARTIST: He composes, sings, and plays Native American music on flutes, drums, rattles, and other traditional instruments for movies, plays, television, radio, and concerts.
