EAGLE SPIRIT

Eagle Spirit is a traditional Native American singing and drumming group that has been performing throughout Northern California at pow-wows, festivals, ceremonies and special gatherings. Their repertoire includes Northern prayer songs as well as intertribals. Eagle Spirit is a family-oriented group committed to traditional Native ways. Their songs honor Mother Earth and they do not so much seek to "perform" these songs, but to pray with communities they sing and drum for, honoring the four directions and the gifts of Great Spirit.
