Artists Annie Humphrey, John Trudell, Pato Hoffman and Larry Long, along with author Anne Dunn and friends, come together in this collection of songs and stories celebrating the wisdom of the Anishinaabe.

The Whispering Tree is a mix of traditional stories and contemporary situations affecting not only the Anshinaabe, or Northern Minnesota Ojibway, but the rest of humanity as well.

"Friendship and heart stories outlast battles and histories. The Whispering Tree project is about friendship that brings down barriers, hope that heals and heart stories that build joy and trust. The Whispering Tree album is about the earth, her memories, her friends, her guardians, wounds, tears and healing. Listen well, share generously and dream boldly - these Anishinaabe songs and stories offer good gifts for all people." - Carson T. Gardner

"...but can we change the world with a story and a song? I don't know yet, we're just getting started." - Anne Dunn
