Reibach wins Best Music Video
MAMMY for 'Live As One'

For the fourth year in a row,
Tribal member Jan Michael Look
ing Wolf Reibach brought home
a major Native American Music
Award trophy.
In 2008, he was honored as Flut
ist of the Year.
In 2009, he was named Artist of
the Year.
Last year, he won Record of the
Year.
And on Friday, Oct. 7, Reibach ac
cepted the NAMMY for Best Music
Video for "Live As One."
The footage for the "Live As One"
video was actually shot in 2010 at
the Native American Music Awards
ceremony held at the Seneca Ni
agara Hotel & Casino in Niagara
Falls, N.Y.
Reibach wrote an arrangement for
his song about attaining world peace
and 25 Native American artists
gathered in a studio to record it.
After the session, the Native
American Music Awards decided
to create a music video from the
footage and use the song to combat
teen suicide.
On the song, Reibach sings lead
vocals, plays Native flute and di
rects a chorus of Native singers.
"Our indigenous ancestors have
it right," Reibach said while accept
ing the NAMMY for "Live As One."
"Regardless of the color of our skin,
shape of our eyes or texture of our
hair ... regardless of where we are
from, what language we speak, or
personal beliefs, we are all equal.
Yes, we are all related and if we
put our hearts together, we can
live as one!"
Reibach, who works for the Tribe
as Lands Department Manager,
also was nominated for two other
NAMMYs this year Best Compi
lation and Best Male Artist. Those
awards went to "The Color of Hope"
and Gary Small, respectively.
Tribal member and guitarist
Steve Hudson, who presented the
Best Music Video award to Reibach,
also was nominated this year for
Best Country Recording for "The
Old Road," but that award went to
C.C. Murdock for "Native Heart."
