"An unusual contribution to the large body of literature dealing with Native American music and its cultural context. . . . It is interestingly written, includes considerable verbatim materials from interviews, and is readily accessible to the educated general reader." -- Bruno Nettl, Choice
"Filled with information and insights that rarely surface in standard academic writing. . . . Destined to serve as a model of future investigations and will become a classic in the field." -- William K. Powers, Journal of American Folklore
"Vander makes significant contributions to many areas, including ethnomusicology, women's studies, Native American studies, and cultural anthropology." -- Charlotte J. Frisbie, author of Navajo Medicine Bundles or Jish: Acquisition, Transmission, and Disposition in the Past and Present
