[spoiler="Об альбоме (на англ.)"]
In late summer throughout the Dakotas, out on the Reservations, Sissy Goodhouse and her family perform at local powwows. The big festivals are either at Eagle Butte, Pine Ridge, or Rosebud. But every weekend, there is always a powwow somewhere. Goodhouse is Lakota (Sioux), and a resident of the Standing Rock Reservation at Ft. Yates, North Dakota, where she works as a substance abuse counsellor. She also loves to sing, and has worked with other artists, such as flutist Kevin Locke in the past.

Her second album, Tiwahé (Lakota for "Family"), is a collection of traditional style Native American songs sung by Sissy Goodhouse, her family and friends. Most of the album was recorded live in the studio with ambient sounds of a summer powwow added for effect.

While traditional style recordings by American Indian women are nothing new, they are difficult to find, often confined to smaller labels. Most Indian music is aimed at a crossover market, whether New Age or Folk. Tiwahé is nothing like that; it is a family portrait, rich in character, singing praises to great warriors, the foundation of the family, and the strength of women. Most of the songs are performed by Goodhouse alone, singing a capella in her native Lakota. Her voice, sweet yet mourning, captures the spirit of her people, promoting her culture in a manner that is true to heart.

Technically, this album is less than perfect, and quite sparse on its production. But that is exactly what makes Tiwahé so wonderful. Unlike previous projects, the producers at Makoché have resisted tampering with the purity of its presentation. Tiwahé presents not only a picture of the Goodhouse family, but also a portrait of the Lakota people. -- Wayne Whitwam
