From The Heart' focuses on the various bands and tribes of the southwest that 'sing bird' Bird Songs are the traditional social songs that speak of the origins of the people and their mythic or actual travels during ancient times. The songs are so old that many of the words are archaic and not understood by the singers. The songs are accompanied with gourd rattles only.
