When she’s not teaching or busy with family, Nancy Parent sings, writes songs, and plays pedal steel with The Rivergods.
Her doctoral thesis analyzed science education in contemporary Native American communities. “I was in overdrive. I had to write five pages a day,” she noted. At night she would pull together old lyrics to help her unwind. Her album Vision of Angels has mutliple layers: lyrical, introspective, socially minded. http://nancyparent.wordpress.com/
