Sun Dogs Creations is a small, family owned and operated company specializing in meaningful books.
Here you'll find novels that take you into the cultures, beliefs and minds of indigenous and modern people from around the world.
Our mind-body-spirit titles offer seekers the opportunity to generate their own prosperity, happiness and heartfelt joy by learning from ancient wisdom.
We are also launching music and audio products that follow this same path. Our first demo is an adjunct for one of our novels. The song, Seven Sisters, is based on an Aboriginal folktale. The song highlights the strength of women and is a powerful reminder for modern people of the honor all women deserve. Viral release in March, 2009.
Our future projects include lectures and discussions with our artists on audio. DVDs will be developed over the long term, so keep checking back to find the next great thing to help change our world.

Featured musician: Patty Kakac
Alice Tripp described singer/songwriter Patty Kakac as a “wild rose of the prairie who pours her love of the land into her songs.” Her recordings have been heard worldwide in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the former Yugoslavia and across the US. Often compared to Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Irish singer Delores Keane and Priscilla Herdman, Patty lives by the same values about which she sings. She has four albums out to date.
Patty first started performing in the late '70s. She tried to save family farms from being plundered by power lines, toxic waste and corporate farming. She was arrested while protesting a farm foreclosure and wrote about it in her song Paynesville 37. As she connected with the idea that all injustices had the same root causes, she began using her music for peace work.
Patty now enjoys using her singing and songwriting skills in her own neighborhood (local as well global) to advance the ideals of justice, peace and abundance for all. Currently she is collaborating with other local artists in a project called Many Nations One Circle as a way of using music in the much-needed healing of this beautiful Earth.
