COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Ojibwe and French music submitted by teri on June 19, 2018, 5:28pm This album is not just Ojibwe music. It's divided into 3 parts, and only the first part contains native american songs. Metis songs, and fiddle music, make up the second and third parts.
Nice music - as long as you know ahead of time that it's a variety.
