9 Star Media

We’re Back! It’s great to see you again.

Welcome to the new and improved 9 Star Media!

If you tried to visit us over the last couple of months, you found us missing, and I want you to hear the reason directly from me. We weren’t hacked, your data is safe, and we didn’t go out of business. What did happen, though, is that our hosting server suffered a catastrophic failure that destroyed our websites, the files behind them and our backups, all at once and without warning.

What mattered most came through untouched. Our databases, including your account, your order history and everything you have purchased, were preserved completely intact, and at no point was any of your personal information exposed.

Since then we have rebuilt 9 Star Media from the ground up: new home, new foundations, faster and more secure than before. Through every long night of that work, I kept thinking about the artists whose music and films we carry, and about you, the people who make this community what it is.

Thank you for your patience, and for coming back. It means everything.

Over the coming months you will see changes and improvements across the site, and they all have one aim: to make every visit uplifting, and to keep bringing you back for new music, films and stories that inspire.

If anything from a past purchase isn’t where it should be, please don’t worry and don’t go without it. Contact us, tell us what you’re looking for, and we will get back to you as soon as we possibly can to make it right.

With heartfelt gratitude and great hope for what’s ahead,

Anne Jennison has been a Baha'i for 35 years and a storyteller for 30 of those years. Anne originally recorded in these stories in January 1995 - during the heart of the Winter storytelling season. "Hummingbird: Native American Stories" received a 1996 Honor Award from Storytelling World Magazine. This CD celebrates the 20th Anniversary re-release of "Hummingbird: Native American Stories". Hummingbird Stories are as elusive as Hummingbird itself, but when Hummingbird shows up, something wonderful is about to happen! You have to be very patient - look & listen very well - if you want to catch a story of Hummingbird - the Little Wind Dancer.

Anne comes from countless generations who've lived in the Northeastern Woodlands, but Anne's worldview is also shaped by having lived in such far-flung places as Kansas, the Philippines, Maryland, Ohio, Massachusetts, France, and Germany as well as the New Hampshire Seacoast. In addition to being a member of the Baha'i International Community, Anne is a Native American Storyteller with European and Abenaki heritage: a dyed-in-the-wool New Englander. With Master's degrees in both Storytelling and History, Anne brings a wealth of knowledge - polished by 30 years as a performing storyteller - to her retelling of these timeless stories about Nanatasis - Hummingbird - The Little Wind Dancer. In these Native American stories, Hummingbird is often seen as sacred and as the bringer of sacred gifts to the People. And the stories - while entertaining - also teach lessons from which we may learn about how to put elements of the world into right relationship with one another.
