the more people we have like this man the better :) I hope young native people (and all people really) can be helped to be as peaceful and creative and connected to their good heritage. He learned the hard way, not everyone has to!!
Love the native flute. beautiful sound
the great spirit speaks through his flute
You said it, it's medicine and I play my medicine every night. I get lost in it; fly away on a spiritual high.Thank you for sharing.

I think human beings have all gone away . .
Hey little brother it is good to have you back on the red road honoring our ancestors with your heart songs. Megwech, ogema Con nos sem tig
Charles, I would like to thank you for the medicine, it is good for the heart. No doctor could make a person feel better than your music does. No matter how bad life seems to be, it brings purity to our hearts and the creator closer to our souls.

I have a flute that Charles made and it is an amazing. I feel so honored to be able to have a flute of this quality. I recently played two flutes belonging to a friend that were of such poor quality I felt sorry for the owner. If you wish to play the Native American flute hold out for the best and get one of Charles Littleleaf's flutes they are amazing in every way. These flutes have spirit that will fill your life with joy and spread joy to others who hear it. Thank you Charles. Many blessings.
You are so right after health problems and a life-changing experience I picked up the Native American flute for the first time. Not having any true friends I know the flute will always be there for me it is a blessing.....
i wish more people would be like you littleleaf
i wish more natives would have the courage
to keep their hair free, and honor their past.
greetings from finland.
Charles, that little four year old bear cub has traveled far since that first magic day at the river... You found your self in a dark place... And found your way back into the light!
You have re-gained the magic of your people, and I hope with all my heart that you get to implant that magical seed you found into in many many people through your gentle way, and your beautiful spiritual music... You have touched me.
Thank you.
Peter, Australia :)

Megweetch my heart goes to you as mine open up to my culture....

This story is beautiful.
You are right about this" medicine of healing"
And I love how you followed your journey.
music with native american flutes are amazing :) its the best thing i ever was gifted from a friend :) i hope u guys like to hear me play one day
Thank you for sharing! Native American Flute Music is healing medicine and lets the Unseen have a voice!
Never get tired of watching this video.
Loved watching this-it was wonderful to finally hear Charles' voice after all these years being one of you customers!!! All MY Best- Dennis
I love his beautiful music.
The little leaf brings life from the big sun. It's true and we all must never forget that real music is for healing and getting in touch with the up above. Therefore we shall give the people what they need and not what they think they want.
it is certainly more than music. It is the voice of nature; the voice of the wind. without words, it speaks to the heart!
Charles' flutes and music are simply the best!!! :)
I love his music because it gives me rest and make me feel at eas.
Thank you Charles
I just bought my first one yesterday and I'm in love. I was in love since watching my first live performance of a Native music group. I will never put this beautiful instrument down.
Beautiful music. I often listen to it when I'm stressed or having trouble going to sleep at night.
When I listen to your music it gives me a peace that I can find no other way. My Great-grandmother was Lenape and your talent stirs something in my soul that no other song can bring to life. I have played guitar more than 30 years and although it gives me pleasure to make beautiful sounds, it is in no way as moving as the music that comes from your flute. You have touched my heart and I wish to learn this instrument. You are an inspiration, my brother and I thank you for sharing your story.
No sound reaches into my soul as reliably and directly as the Native American flute.
this music is so calming and just makes me loose all sice of time and day beautiful man
Wow what a beautiful story.
THANK YOU CHARLES FOR YOUR BEAUTYFUL MUSIC.
iT GIVES ME SÓÓÓ MUCH REST.
You have inspired me to listen to more than just the TV.
i remember when he came to my college few yrs agio. presented him @ seminar and had2 do report on him. his music so beautiful :)
Thankyou Charles- beautiful- touches the soul- living in New Zealand

Wado Charles.. for sharing your story.It is truly inspiring! I too believe flute music is good medicine for the soul. May you be blessed in all you do
Such a beautiful reminder. Creator blessed.
I truly enjoy this flute music and am thankful that I can listen to it in my home.it's very soothing to my spirit.
Love his music he makes some beautiful flutes
So wonderful and amazing - Love&Light from Germany - Eva Folk
I have many of his songs on a CD that for every night now for over a couple years, I listen to at bedtime. It calms me so I can sleep. 2 months ago I had to end my 25 year marriage, one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I could not sleep as my spirit felt broken. So I looked up Mr Littleleaf on here and found more songs and I have a player that repeats and all night I sleep in peace listening to his music. It comes from his heart, his Soul. I wake up to his music and I feel a positive energy.
I enjoy other Native American Flute players and I respect them but none can ease my troubled spirit like Charles LittleLeaf's flute and his singing can.
This video above of him talking about his first experience with the river is very close to the same kind of experience I had at age 4 in Echo Oregon with the Umatilla River...It is a living river like your Deschutes and all other Creator made rivers...
Thank you Charles for sharing this very intimate part of your life. I look forward to meeting you some day...Thank you again for the music you make, I believe, saved my life that first month after I told my wife she had to go...I was taking way too many sleeping pills and still no sleep, but your songs and me praying to God, brought me out of it...You are a good man...Keep up your good works as you help more folks than you will ever know in this earthly world...
reelshooter I listen to his music when I have trouble sleeping and also listen to R Carlos Nakai and others but I agree Charles Littleleaf is one of the best and I am so thankful that I came across his music a year ago or so.
reelshooter sorry brother God bless
much love and much respect
ReelShooter-I know it has been 1 yr old post.....hope it finds you....my life much the same as yours..... and an entire life being reborn...I am now in a very happy place retired in Az Desert....I have come full circle back to the beggining....I now am forging metal and making flutes from the native woods.....as a Phoenix rising from the flames......is even moe beautiful than before.....happy and safe paths to you....Dan...(Golden Valley Forge)
Reelshooter and desert blacksmith - thank you both for sharing your stories. Respect.
The best medicine ever. It heals your soul.
Your kind words do my heart good, my friend. ;) Thank you. -Charles

Wonderful, It tells of what is true in this mans heart.
the music that comes from that ancient instrument is so touching and powerful that it helps me feel relaxed and catch my breath.
I'm learning how to play one myself
Thank you so much for sharing your art and soul with all the people.

i have a story i am an Indian myself my people are almost extincted and there is no way of changing that but Charles Littleleaf music has brought lots of joy tears and i believe i brought shame to my people i have went off track i needed help getting back on. Charles Littleleaf median has pushed me back on track i have no flutes i cant really express my story. i dont have a spirit to watch over me but Charles Littleleaf does 24/7.
Thank you for sharing this here.I listen to it and watch it.
What a story Charles, I had tears in my eyes about you say. Thank you for sharing.
I like his story and the fact that the eagle has been making it presence known to me recently. I love the eagle flute he makes and the fact that he believes music is a powerful medicine from the heaven above. I believe the same way.
such beautiful music and wonderful words
I love the Flute.....it is beautiful,spiritual,.....Bless the Player
It's not a music, it's a medicine.
This is absolutely beautiful! Soul warrior spirit
Beautiful sound and man, truly healing medicine
Beautiful.
I love all music and specially Charles Littleleaf on the Native American Flute
I liked this he's very talented. His music is beautiful and haunting.
Awesome video, awesome music, thank you for sharing, may God bless you and your family too.
Wado my brother for this amazing video, and your talent and story is very close to my heart, I want to learn to play the flute so bad, I play keyboard and clarinet, so I think it will come easy to me, very interested in purchase, your craftsman smith, especially the details of the Eagle feathers is so sacred to my heart, and your playing is just as good, and love the final tune, Amazing Grace, my favorite..blessings my brother, sister Blue Horse, First Nation Chickamauga....HUGS
I have had this experience as well, about age 4. In the Copper River I saw a pink stone. I was in love with that pink stone.
Very wise words from a very wise man. Thank you Charles for your journey on the Red Road. From one flute maker to another. Tugooven.
you are strong my friend i respect you.you are strong thank you.
Much Respect to you for sharing some of your life travels and music...I was raised near the Warm Springs Reservation, I remember the first time I seen the Deschutes River as a child, 50 years later I still can feel the beauty and mystery of the river...Thank you again
Wonderful, sacred sound. thanks for this beautiful video - Blessings
I am going through a time in my own life where I am hurting, as are many people, but your music started playing on my Playlist and I kept listening because your music was healing. Music is medicine, I've believed this for a long time and I live this, I am just starting my career as a music therapist. Just wanted to share, agree, and say thanks :)
Charles, thank you for your beautiful music, coming through the gorgeous flutes you also create ...
many, many thanks XOs
I think your story is amazing. I also think these flutes touch the human spirit in a way other instruments don't. I just got into these, my first was bamboo, cost me $36, my second is cedar and cost me $44, my third will most likely cost over $150, I have no idea where this journey will lead me, but I have indeed begun a journey.
Beautiful, thank you, added to a playlist...
So beautiful
Such a beautiful story
this makes me proud to be part Native American
Love
Beautiful Thank you I feel the same about my Flutes.
Ha, he played amazing grace, thats awesome, now I'v heard it played by both of my favorite cultures instruments(native american and celtic).
Such clear, spiritual music. Honored to listen. My soul is moved in a good way.
Charles, you are an inspiration to me in my flute journey. I am of mixed heritage, 1/2 Norwegian, and many other nations. Perhaps I was a Native in a past life,, but I can only wonder about that.
I was introduced to the flute and the native culture a little over 7 years ago. It has become a life journey for me. Some say I play well, I prefer to say I am a beginner, on a long journey. I would imagine that I will play the flute til my last breath. One day I hope to play a flute crafted by you.
Beautiful....
Thank you for sharing your story Charles Littleleaf. I recently discovered your album Ancient Reflections and it moves me deeply. I find myself humming your music afterwards and filled with a sense of peace. Migwetch!
Yes, it is medicine and very healing. I understand now that I play.
I just got my drone flute down from the shelf after ignoring it for a year or so, and it felt good to play it, I even tried singing into it while I played. I'd love to take it camping sometime.
Worth sharing...your music is soothing, Charles!
this makes you just wanna drop everything thats heavy in life and just live a more easy and peaceful life.
Thank you Mr. L. I love your spirit and your beautiful music!
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Great story my friend...R.Carlos Nakai is my mentor as well... I have learned to respect the medicine of Mary Youngblood and now you as well...
