Martie Maguire
Martha" Martie" Elenor Maguire( née Erwin; October 12, 1969) is an American musician who is a founding member of both the female alternative country band Dixie Chicks and country bluegrass duo Court Yard Hounds.
She won awards in national fiddle championships while still a teenager.
Erwin is accomplished on several other instruments, including the mandolin, viola, double bass and guitar.
She has written and co-written a number of the band's songs, some of which have become chart- topping hits.
She also contributes her skills in vocal harmony and backing vocals, as well as orchestrating string arrangements for the band.
Erwin learned several instruments at a young age, honing her skills with her younger sister, Emily Strayer( born Emily Erwin) and two schoolmates( a brother and sister team, Troy and Sharon Gilchrist) for over five years as a part of a touring bluegrass quartet while in high school.
After graduation, the sisters forged an alliance with two other women they had met through the Dallas music scene, Laura Lynch and Robin Lynn Macy, forming a bluegrass and country music band, busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits for six years.
After the departure of Macy, and the replacement of Lynch with singer Natalie Maines, the band widened their musical repertoire and appearance.
The result was a trio so commercially successful that it took the country music industry by surprise, with a number of hit songs, albums, and awards that have set records in the music industry.
Erwin subsequently stood by her bandmates as they were engulfed in political controversy.

Kawaipuna Prejean
Gayle Kawaipuna Prejean (April 14, 1943 – April 14, 1992)
was a Hawaiian nationalist, activist and advocate for the Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
Prejean was founder of the Hawaiian Coalition of Native Claims, now known as the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation.
A pioneer of sovereignty during the "Hawaiian Renaissance" of the 1970s, Prejean was one of the first voices to advocate for Kanaka Maoli (native Hawaiian) independence at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
He was involved in the formation of the movement to stop the bombing of the island of Kahoolawe by the U.S. Navy; this was an issue which catalyzed the formation of the modern "Hawaiian Movement".
Prejean was known for his music and "stand-up" comedy as well as for his unrelenting criticism of the U.S. military presence in Hawaii.
It was Kawaipuna Prejean who originally proposed the convening of the 1993 Kanaka Maoli Tribunal, and other historical actions which were carried out after his death.
Kawaipuna Prejean died on his 49th birthday while fighting to stop the construction of Interstate H-3, which destroyed many ancient Hawaiian sites and substantially impacted native species along its path on the island of Oahu, including several probable extinctions.

David Ji
David Longfen Ji is an American businessman who co-founded Apex Digital, an electronics manufacturer.
In 2004, he was arrested in China following a dispute with Sichuan Changhong Electric, a supplier owned by the city of Mianyang and the province of Sichuan.
Changhong accused him of defrauding them through bad checks.
Ji was taken, according to an account by his lawyer, to the senior management and told, "I decide whether you live or die."
He has been held in China without charges.
Ji's case highlighted an "implicit racism" in dealings with American businessmen.
As a U.S. citizen he was not granted the same treatment by authorities as non-ethnically Chinese businessmen sharing the same nationality.
Robin Lynn Macy
Robin Lynn Macy( born November 27, 1958) is an American musician, teacher, and gardener, who is best known as a founding member of the female country group the Dixie Chicks.
While a mathematics teacher at St. Mark's School of Texas, Macy was active in the Dallas bluegrass music scene of the 1980s, and was in a band called Danger in the Air.
The band released two independent albums.
With the Chicks she was the group's guitarist, co-lead singer, and occasional songwriter.
Macy left the Dixie Chicks in late 1992 in a dispute with the Erwin sisters about the group's musical direction.
Macy advocated for a" purer" bluegrass approach.
( She was not replaced; the foursome became a trio.
It would be still several more years until the Dixie Chicks achieved their big commercial break, when Natalie Maines replaced Laura Lynch as lead singer.)
Macy then joined Sara Hickman and Patty Lege to form the group Domestic Science Club, which issued two albums before disbanding.
While still in Dallas, Macy played with an informal group named Round Robin, but she eventually moved to southern Kansas.
Macy hosted an evening music show on local NPR affiliate, KERA in Dallas, in the mid-1990s.
She then performed with Mark Bennett, Mike and Vicki Lynn Theobald in The Blue Plate Special.
The band performed at the Walnut Valley Festival, in Winfield, Kansas in 1999.
Big Twang was Macy's next project.
The bluegrass quintet was founded by Macy and won the 1999 RockyGrass Band Championship.
The band recorded one CD-" Pastures of PlentyMacy ’s riveting, seductive voice infuses the band ’s renditions of Sting ’s' Secret Journey' and Nanci Griffith ’s' Time of Inconvenience' with spellbinding power and soul," wrote reviewer David McCarty in" Acoustic Guitar" magazine;" Big Twang is one big talent."
The band dissolved in 2003.
Macy remained active in the regional music scene, and also returned to teaching mathematics.
In addition, she is the steward of Bartlett Arboretum, a 501( c) 3 non-profit she created.
It is located in Belle Plaine, Kansas on a slough north of the Ninnescah River drainage, 20 miles south of Wichita.
She discovered the arboretum in 1997 when it was slated for sale; the owning Bartlett family viewed her arrival as a godsend.
In April 2008, Macy's recording" Songs from the Garden", original compositions inspired from living among the trees at the arboretum, was released.
The arboretum, with its application written by Macy, was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in April, 2010.
In October 2008, she formed another trio with Jennifer Pettersen and Monica Taylor called The Cherokee Maidens.
She is currently a teacher of geometry at Wichita Collegiate School.
