Remaining True
Even with the enormous amount of success he has experienced, John Two-Hawks remains
simple of heart, kind, gentle and humble, and he has always been true to his Lakota ethnic
and cultural heritage. From his earliest years, a strong, tenacious sense of Lakota identity
was instilled in him which he has never forsaken. Through years of quietly listening and
learning, the traditions, customs, language and old ways were imparted, which Two-Hawks
has carried on in his own personal, private family life, remaining ever true to Lakota values.
He is a man of honor, who fiercely guards his solitude and privacy, and yet has offered himself
freely to millions around the world as a voice for peace, healing and justice. John Two-Hawks
is gracious and eloquent, and yet remains a fiery advocate for Indigenous human and civil rights.

Humility and Honor
John Two-Hawks honors those ancestors who, despite great adversity, pressed on in their crafting
of Native wooden flutes. For without them, this powerful instrument certainly could have been lost.
These people never received applause or accolades for their efforts, and John is ever aware of that.
Two-Hawks feels humbled to have been given the gift to be able to breathe his breath of life into
this instrument of healing, and give it a voice. It is that intent which pours into each flute he plays,
and all the music he dreams into being. The mending of the sacred hoop of the nations of the world
can only happen one heart at a time. Two-Hawks is honored and humbled to be able to do his small
part by sharing his gifts with all. May we be as many raindrops which flow into a mighty stream....
