No, it's not a country or just a color...it's the name for one of the best, traditional singing groups in the country!
Founded in 1968, this group has developed into national prominence in the artistic style of plain's music tribal cultural knowledge.
Educational institutions, through College level, have utilized their expertise.
They are available to facilitate your cultural presentation needs at Conferences, Seminars, etc.
Today, the group consists of eighteen members representing an association with ten federally recognized tribes. Since 1968, the group has had the privilege to travel across the nation to many tribal or Indian organizational events to serve as host, drum, being recognized for their unique style of singing both 'northern' and 'southern' style. In retrospect, members of the group were not accomplished or knowledgeable singers at the outset. Because of their individual interest to learn, they have become well-established individuals through repetitive training to become a singer. Each participates actively within their own tribal Traditions, thus, enhancing their knowledge in a spiritual way. This brings an added value collectively to the group. This knowledge from "hands-on" experience, in a traditional manner, has contributed to the overall prominence of the group.
