Cree Canaries Indigenous Youth family Drum Group was formed in the summer of 2017. Although primarily a powwow drum group, the Cree Canaries are often called upon to bring healing and honor through sacred songs to numerous Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) events, including sacred fires, smudge walks, searches, and funerals. In 2021, following the tragic discovery of the remains of 216 children on the grounds of the Kamloops Indian Residential School, a wave of ECM memorials, smudge walks, and sacred fires took place across the country. Cree Canaries were honored to participate in thousands of these events across North America, helping communities grieve and heal. The group upholds resilience by carrying forward cultural teachings, protocols, songs, storytelling, and dances, amplifying the voices of Indigenous children who need to be heard now more than ever.
In 2024, the Cree Canaries made history as the first-ever recipients of Saskatchewan Indigenous music awards Drum Group of the Year!
