Each song will be introduced with the Playbill Copy, words of Robert Mirabal, and Susitna.
part of Alaska, is said to be the tops of the hills and mountains that were left when the water covered the bridge. The Yup'ik people still live there, speak Siberian Yup'ik, dance the old dances with a sealskin drum and try to keep the culture for the young people."
The Anasazi culture is believed to have lasted from 100BC to AD 1300 in the area of the American Southwest weaving containers and sandals from plant matter and refining their skills in agriculture and pottery during the Basket Maker period. The second period is called the Pueblo period starting about AD 700, when they kept underground dwelling as ceremonial structures (Kivas) but also built above ground homes known as Pueblos. It is not know why they left-- there was a drought, maybe wars, or they moved on to seek better land to cultivate. They did leave a history in petrogylyphs 
in the caves and on rocks of the area. Many cultures around the world have used this form to leave history – of daily life, hunts, maybe a calendar.
Some believe that spiritual beings oversaw the carving of these figures.

Robert: "A song about issues facing young children of the next generation as they struggle between two worlds."
Susitna: "So many of the young of the world are living without in this time of plenty. Many need to know someone cares. So many feel left out, not wanted. So many are in need. Adults are lost and need care, hope, and love. Many of the elderly are alone, unwanted, and in need.
- - Just a little kindness,- - Just a little caring,- - Just a few hours of time, - - Just giving hope to someone goes a long way."
Robert also spoke of the many who have worked to help those less fortunate in the world. They have done it with service, love, understanding, and some have even given their lives.
