At NDN All-Stars, we’ve always been about telling the stories of great Native athletes—past and present. That’s why I’m excited to share something new that’s been in the works: an album of original songs I’ve written to celebrate some of the incredible athletes on our All-Stars roster. The title of the album is still being developed, so stay tuned…
This project is a way to honor their achievements in a different medium. Just as we tell their stories through blog posts, podcasts, and merchandise, these songs bring their journeys to life with music and rhythm.
One of the first tracks is called “Ross Is Fast!”—a high-energy tribute to World Cup speed ski racer Ross Anderson (Cheyenne/Arapaho/Mescalero Apache). Ross carved his name in the record books with a North American record speed of 154.06 miles per hour on skis. That’s not just fast—it’s historic. This song captures that raw speed, that fearless edge, and the pride of seeing a Native athlete dominate a world stage.
This is only the beginning. “Ross Is Fast!” is the first taste of a bigger collection I’ll be sharing soon—an album dedicated to the greatness of Native athletes who inspire us all.
Stay tuned, because this project is just getting started. More songs are coming, more stories will be told, and NDN All-Stars will continue to do what we do best: Promoting Great Native Athletes – Past & Present!
