      About our collaborator

      Hawk Henries
      Hawk Henries

      Hawk Henries is a member of the Chaubunagungamaug band of Nipmuc, a people indigenous to what is now Southern New England. He has been composing original music and making Eastern Woodlands flutes using hand tools for over 30 years. Henries is fascinated with musical instruments and traditions from around the world, so you may also hear the didgeridoo and the mbira in his performances! He also enjoys sharing his experiences and perspectives about Life in hopes of acknowledging and honoring the Sacredness in each person and all cultures. He creates a calming yet engaging and contemplative space while maintaining a note of humor. His music is a reflection of thinking that we each have the capacity to make a change in the world. He has performed and presented at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Harvard Medical School Graduation and with the London Mozart Players.
