Please Answer this, my grade is riding on this!

HI my name is *powwowchic* I am the only ndn at the high school that is named after a chief (I moved here from a more diverse school, still adjusting to a school where even the black kids act white). So I wish to enlighten my *peers* on Native American Music. We are supposed to survey students and teachers at our school, however I have the feeling that isn't going to work out. So please help a skin out, and answer my survey questions!
And Stay Red!

1. Who is your favorite Native American Musician? Why?


2. Who are your favorite drummers? Why?


3. What is your tribe?

1. Annie Humphrey because her lyrics are beautiful as well as her voice.

2. Northern Cree because their round dance songs are the best (so creative)

3. Eastern Band Cherokee and Metis (Ontario)

CaliChoctaw64

John Trudell, because of his unique style.

Yellowhammer, their vocals and beats give me chicken skin (goosebumbs).

Choctaw and Creek.

ndnangel49

Buffy Sainte Marie- because I love the way she will sometimes mix old with new, and for the powerful messages she conveys through her songs.

Hands down I have to give it to Northern Cree, awesome group

Mohawk/Cree

I cannot really pick a favorite singer, because I like too much to just pick one. I like Kieth Secola because of his humurous ways. I like Jim Boyd because his music hits your heart. And I like Ulali because their songs/voices give me chills.

Its the same for a drum group, I prefer northern, but I like a bunch, Eyabay, Midnight Express, The Boyz, and Whitefish Bay Jr.s are probably in my top list.

And finally, I am Anishinaabe.

2.Blackstone, White Fish Jrs, Northern Cree, Bear Creek, & Black Lodge - they can really jam out a tune out on the drum, keep the dance floor packed and energetic with good feelings

3. Yakama Rock Creek, & Warm Springs Tribe
