SAN DIEGO INTER-TRIBAL SINGERS SONG PRACTICE San Diego Intertribal Singers will continue to meet September 10-November 19, 08 at 6pm on Wednesday at the Indian Education SOARING EAGLE dance classes. The location is the Normal Heights Community Center, 4649 Hawley Blvd. San Diego CA. We are singing what song the instructors need: Northern and Southern Plains Powwow. The powwow experience often echoes these traditional Tribal qualities: Respect, Generosity, Truth, and Courage. Canada, Alaska, Lower 48 and Middle America are traditionally Indian Land with thousands of Indian people. When we come to the drum with a good heart and true humility our path will be wonderful. This understanding, fellowship and intertribal appreciation are an added benefit of coming to the drum NATIVE AMERICAN SINGERS FOR HIREFor the past year The San Diego Inter-tribal Singers have been singing at the Wednesday culture night for the San Diego Unified School District Title VII Indian Education program. We are invited to sing for their SOARING EAGLES Summer and Fall pow-wow dance and regalia program. We extend an invitation to all singers, Northern and Southern to feel welcome at the San Diego Inter-tribal drum. We will have a good time and help our Indian community too. The San Diego Inter-tribal singers are composed of new, lead and head singers: Terry Hinsley, Ben Nance, Richard Decrane, Roy Cook and others. We welcome any new faces to the drum. Appropriate songs are sung for the benefit of the dancers and the requests of the dance instructors. It is a very nice experience to be at the drum again for the benefit of our American Indian children. The powwow experience often echoes these traditional Tribal values: Respect, Generosity, Truth, and Courage. Grass dace, shawl dance, round dance, crow hop, northern traditional dance, women traditional southern and northern, jingle dance, more round dance and fun specialty songs are sung for the entertainment and instruction of the Soaring Eagles Dance Class dancers. Some of the dancers are shy and reluctant but by the ending of the song, many Indian children and parents are dancing. Participation is the true measure of success. Everyone knows it is not easy but it is worth doing well and the satisfaction is in the achievement. Canada, Alaska, Lower 48 and Middle America are traditionally Indian Land with hundreds of thousands of Indian people. When we come to the drum with a good heart and true humility our path on the Red Road will be wonderful. This understanding, fellowship and intertribal respectful appreciation are an added benefit of coming to the drum Finally, It is with great appreciation that we, at the drum, acknowledge all the organizations the have provided this opportunity to contribute to the Tribal cultural experience of our Indian children. Mehan, Ah ho, Thank you. Roy Cook, San Diego Inter-tribal singers drum keeper.
