A notable event was the night he performed in concert with Nightwish at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki Finland for a sold out audience of 12,000.
Even with the enormous amount of success he has experienced, John Two-Hawks remains true to his Lakota heritage, and has always remained simple of heart, kind, gentle and humble. He is a man of honor, who fiercely guards his solitude and privacy, and yet has offered himself freely to millions around the world as a voice for peace, healing and justice. Two-Hawks is gracious and eloquent, and yet remains a fiery advocate for Indigenous human and civil rights.
John Two-Hawks honors those ancestors who, despite great adversity, pressed on in their crafting of Native wooden flutes. For without them, this powerful instrument may have been lost. Two-Hawks feels humbled to have been given the gift to be able to breath his breath into this instrument of healing, and give it life. It is that intent which pours into each flute he plays, and all the music he dreams into being. The mending of the sacred hoop of the nations of the world can only happen one heart at a time. Two-Hawks is honored and humbled to be able to do his small part. May we be as many raindrops which flow into a mighty stream....
