From The Heart Of Little Hawk: Video of MicMac/Mohawk Native American Storyteller




Little Hawk is a MicMac/Mohawk Native American storyteller and musician. This 6:22 minute short film shares some of the wisdom he learned from his grandparents. Filmed by John Pritchard on location at Bear Mountain. The Little Hawk DVD is available at littlehawkshow.com and Amazon.alt

Kenneth Little Hawk is a Native American musician, storyteller, keynote speaker, recording artist and actor, descending from the Micmac and Mohawk tribes. He is also a member of Métis of Maine.

Touring throughout America over the past 20 years, Little Hawk has performed for over 2 million people at many distinguished locations including Lincoln Center in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington, and the American Museum of Natural History.

His voice and authentic flute music can be heard in such award-winning PBS films as "The West" and "Lewis and Clark" produced by the acclaimed director, Ken Burns. He has been nominated twice for Best Storyteller of the Year by the Native American Music Awards for "Wind, Sun and Stars" and "In a Good Way."

In 1998, he was invited to meet the President at the White House for a special screening of “Lewis & Clark“. Also present at the Presidential screening were director, Ken Burns, Mathew Broderick, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tantoo Cardinal, several other Native Americans, and some of the key people who helped make the film possible. Little Hawk played flute with other musicians in the East Wing of the White House and all contributers to the film received a beautiful replica of the Jefferson Medal of Peace. He is a Native American cultural treasure.

Little Hawk believes that all humans need to honor, cherish and preserve the earth. He says, "We must work together to mend the global hoop that encompasses all life." He hopes to leave his audiences with the knowledge that they can make choices to live in harmony with one another and the environment.
