Some of what's in it...

Woodrow Wilson's speech from 1915. Glitch drums, Nu-Drums, much FX/VST-Envelope programming. Exert from Duwamish tribe meeting. Blackfoot language tutorials. Exert from speech by Chief Buckongahelas.


Walking Eagle is an urban myth. The story goes that George W. Bush attended a meeting of Native Americans and gave a speech, at the conclusion of which he was presented with a plaque bearing his new Indian name, "Walking Eagle". He then left, very pleased with his new honourific.

Later, when a curious news reporter enquired as to the meaning of the name, one of the chiefs explained that Walking Eagle is a bird so full of shit that it can no longer fly.

Blackfoot language:

Óki (greeting)
Tsá niitá'piiwa? How's things?
Ókki, nitáakahkayi Well, I'm going home

Feedback, good or bad, welcome as always :)
