"The Healing Power of Native American Music, Song & Dance"
An Evening where Music, Song and Dance will be an Instrument for Healing and Raising Awareness
Raised in New Mexico/ Arizona, J.Reuben Silverbird's mother was a Cherokee/Dine medicine woman and his father was a NedhniApache spiritual wise man. Both possessed beautiful singing voices and incredible instrumental musical abilities. Growing up in this unique spiritual and musical world has influenced and molded the Love, Respect, Spirituality and Music that Silverbird practices today.
He has traveled to the four corners of Mother Earth with spiritual leaders from all over the world, bringing his captivating stories, wisdom and music to millions. J.

He has carried the message of the Native American Spiritual way to children of all ages, to young and seasoned professionals, teachers, professors, as well as high echelon peoples in government. His stories and tales come from a vast memory bank of past Ancestry and present day Native American history. Whether traditional or contemporary, his lectures are always Spiritual, Musical and Educational.
His subjects are intertwined with words of wisdom, and always a touch of humor that he learned from his father; by sitting in, as a child, and listening to him speak on delicate Religious issues with Bishops and other Catholic Clergy Officials, as well as Politics with leading Politicians of that era.
As a result of this training, his mind is gifted with a wealth of material that helps him
