(May 4, 2007) – The Center will honor mothers, grandmothers and all nurturing women with a musical presentation by Native flute player Michael Murphy at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, May 13. The performance will be free.
Along the way he will perform “Remember Me,” a song commissioned in 2006 by the Center to honor Siouxland’s farm-to-market heritage. Murphy wrote the song as a companion piece to “A Way of Life,” a book about the Sioux City Stockyards, published by the Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center Association. Murphy, an Omaha-based singer, performs throughout the country and teaches clinics and workshops in Native American flute. His albums include, “Peace,” “Ethnic Cleansing – Trail of Tears” and “Sacred Heart.” The Center, exit 149 off I-29, is a private, non-profit institution built and sustained by Missouri River Historical Development, Inc. (MRHD). Admission, all programs, exhibits and activities are free and open to all people. For more information call 712-224-5242 or visit www.siouxcitylcic.com

Murphy will take the audience back to the origin of the
flute and then invite them on a musical
journey that moves from the Lewis & Clark
Trail all the way up to today.
