“The Keepers of the Earth”, album includes four Native American traditional stories & four songs.
The title track “The Keepers of the Earth”, tells the ancient story of the medicine wheel, red, black yellow and white colors of all nations and their gifts. The song explains in simplest terms what happens when our air is filled with pollution and as our rivers fail to flow in their natural environment. During live performances, Rose teaches her audiences to sing the chorus. Thus continuing the awareness of the earth.
Other tracks include a beautiful tale of legends that have been passed down through generations; medicine powers, where the wind comes from and how natural hot springs proofed to be helpful.
