SARAH HINDSLEY
"When I was young I had a lot of really vivid dreams and I didnt't understand them. My parents took me to see a medicine
man. We were told all about my destiny. I always knew about my gifts and how I would use them."
Sarah Hindsley is speaking about her extraordinary talent. Sarah Hindsley's gifts are evident the moment you spend some time
with her music. You will rejoice while listening to her lyrics because of the way Hindsley masterfully weaves through all of the
issues plaguing contemporary American culture. You will connect with Hindsley because she speaks to all of us about striving
for a better life by using the avenues of R&B, Hip Hop, Soul or Native American traditional singing. Hindsley uses whatever
it takes.
"Music is a way of getting a message to my people and relating to a greater world. I hold a lot of power in my mic," said
Hindsley.
Let the fact that she comes from a Native American reservation only add credence to the fact that she may very well be a messenger
of our time sent to inspire and elevate us to a higher level of being through her music. It is interesting that Hindsley comes
from a tribe called the "Lost Tribe" a.k.a. St. Croix Ojibwe (Anishanaabe) since her mission is to help us all find our way.
Sarah Hindsley is here like a guide to light the dark path.
"I believe my music helps people by showing that if you do have dreams and goals, they can be obtained. I come from a small
poor community and it is hard to keep our traditions. I believe that this is just the beginning. I have a lot to say about
our history and what happened to us as a people. I believe in educating our young ones about the truth."
To Hindsley, her music is all about her message of hope to all people. In 2005, Sarah Hindsley sang the National Anthem
for the Twins home game against the White Sox, among other games. Sarah was nominated for a NAMMY Award (Native American
Music Award) for best R&B/HipHop Artist in 2006 and 2007.
She has been singing and dancing since the age of 5 competing and winning in competition Pow Wows and traveling across
the United States and Canada for years. She is no stranger to the spotlight, competing in various talent shows across
the Midwest since high school. Before her recording career she mastered cover songs and sang with various bands in
