Summer Sage: Medicine Winds
Released: May 16, 2009
Medicine Winds is a collection of eleven original songs written and composed by Laura Langstaff. Langstaff's powerful and emotive lead vocals are enhanced by her sister Melissa Hall's deep, rich harmonies. Tender ballads, humorous tales, as well as socio-political driven lyrics are all included. These songs speak strongly to the sisters' Aboriginal roots, and are educational, uplifting, entertaining and thought-provoking all at the same time. Supporting musicians are Ron Bankley, Emily Celeste, the Dirty Flannel Dawg, Merisa Donoghue, Jeremy MacDonald and Jordan Stringer.
Medicine Winds was Produced by Merisa Donoghue, who was also responsible for the musical arrangements. The project was engineered, mixed and mastered by Les Tibbo and Emily Celeste at Quadra Fusion Studio in Nanaimo, BC. Design, layout and photography for the CD were by Elyssa Tibbo.

 Moitie-Moitie
Moitie-Moitie is a culturally specific learning resource for Métis children at the elementary level.
The illustrated book and CD were created to reflect Métis culture to Métis learners. It is the story of Mischa, a Métis boy with disabilities who is representative of forty-six per cent of the Métis population.
Written and composed by Langstaff, the book was illustrated by Amelia Boisselle. The CD was produced and arranged by Merisa Donoghue, and engineered, mixed and mastered by Les Tibbo and Emily Celeste at Quadra Fusion Studio in Nanaimo, BC.
 Laura Langstaff: Summer Sage
A collection of ten original songs by Langstaff featuring Ron Bankley on lead guitar and Charlie Cook on fiddle.
From the enchanting Métis Lullaby to what is quickly becoming Langstaff's signature song, Summer Sage, the entire CD is filled with moving, introspective lyrics and simple, haunting melodies.
The CD was produced by Terry Gillespie and was recorded at Heaven's Radio Studio, Vankleek Hill, Ontario in 2002.

The Winds of Change: A Crisis Management Tool Kit
We live in a world of constant change. In this life, we can expect change to enter our lives of our own creation. As Aboriginal women, we have also come to know that many changes take place that are externally initiated and not of our own creation. How a woman regards change makes a huge difference in whether or not she is successful during transitional times.
This manual gathers the information and skills passed down from our Grandmothers, and made manifest in successful Aboriginal daughters today. This manual does not take an academic approach to dealing with change. Nor does it take the approach of offering 'band-aid' remedies. This manual shares how successful Aboriginal women live their lives, free of the perspective of change that often unnecessarily 'translates' into the constraint of energy-sapping crisis.
