Big River Cree are from Big River First Nation which is located in Northern Saskatchewan. The group consists of extended family members of "Whitefish" family. They have been singing together since the early ninety's. They first started singing in a play their aunt Nora had written. The play was about a group of children inviting their people back to the sacred circle through song and dance. Today they are well known throughout Canada and the United States for their unique style of singing. Through their grandparents teachings and guidance in the use of the hand drum they demonstrate proper protocol as they were taught. Their songs are composed by various members of the group. During the winter months they travel to round dances and when summer arrives, the pow wow trail is their home.
