MILLER LIBRARY AND MUSEUM Official depository for public records of Mohican Nation Stockbridge-Munsee Band N8510 Moh-He-Con-Nuck Road Bowler, WI 54416 BIO The son of Mohican-German parents was born on the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation in northern Wisconsin. His Mohican name is Fush-Ya Heay (meaning "Bird Song") He learned to sing traditional songs at an early age and at age 12 got his first guitar. After leaving the reservation to study art at the Layton School of Art and Design in Milwaukee (he later attended the University of Wisconsin at LaCrosse), Bill moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a singer/songwriter. Bill’s best known songs are Ghostdance, Raven in the Snow and Tumbleweed which was co-written with Peter Rowan. Bill has an equally active career as a painter. His work has been shown and sold in prestigious galleries around the country, and he maintains a studio at his Nashville home, where he lives with his wife and children. "Prayers For The Truth," states all that the Native American Indian community hold sacred, while offering forgiveness to those that nearly annihilated an entire people. QUOTES "Songs are healing to the soul and can be used in reconciliation between people of all races." "I don’t want anyone to carry around this guilt. All we need is to be allowed to speak, to mourn, to express anger, then be allowed to forgive our oppressors. This could lead to a deeply powerful spiritual change in the U.S. and the world. It could be a statement about peacemaking that comes with courage." "My faith in my Creator leaves me content with the gifts I have and I use them to enrich the world through His blessings. I choose to bless people rather than curse them, to be a peacemaker rather than a warmaker." "I’ve been given a lot of second chances in my life. I’ve been through alcoholism and other problems. I was lifted out of the ditch, and I still see a blue sky above. After years of living against the grain, I see things as rivers, creeks and rainstorms, as the liquid layers of my life." "It reminds me of a cocoon," he says of Indian music. "First you see the webs in the trees, then you can see the chrysalis. We’ve metamorphosed into a beautiful thing. I really feel strongly that we’re going to be embraced by world music. We’re the blood in this country’s veins, the red in the flag. And we have songs."
