Hi,

I want to iknow who is that singing at the end of the clip? I had to come back to try to find out. I really like it and want a CD.

Your federal recognition has brought hope and joy to many of your sister tribes on the East Coast. You have been keeping it real for years and it has paid off. THank you !

@perkydoo indeed. Thanks for the comment.

@nanotechmom I know it has been a long hard won fight. My mom went to school with one of the Peters brothers at VA State over 50 years ago and they were fighting the fight then.... I am so glad that now when people go to Plimoth Plantation they see the real deal instead of imported Native Peoples from Canada.

I love checking out the generations. From the kids just learning the drum craft to the youth singing in front of the drum. IT is fabulous! THank you for sharing this with us.

@perkydoo you're welcome! This has been the tradition in the family for more than 80 years now.
