Hey MySpace! I am so sorry to inform you that this is NOT REALLY Northern Cree handling this site. Merely, a fan.. I do know them though! However, if you feel the need to send requests for Pow Wows and Round Dances (there have been many!), I will try my best to pass the message along to the drum group. So, most of the messages that have been sent before today (1/31/07) will be deleted. I'm so glad that their music influences so many people in so many different ways. I'm sure that Northern Cree is grateful for your support!
Funny, I only put this site up for the music to be put up on my page and all of a sudden there's over 2000 friends and hundreds of requests for appearance!! Thanks for commenting on this site and I promise to change music on here as often as I can and some pictures!

Fallen power poles at a community pow-wow ground after a storm hit Ziebach and Dewey counties in South Dakota.
A tiny tribe of Lakota Sioux has been battling wind, rain and subzero temperatures this week as ice storms lash one of the U.S.'s poorest communities and leave thousands without electricity, heat or drinking water.
"There's been winters this bad before, but not with rain so bad it freezes the power lines and snaps the poles," said Joseph Brings Plenty, the 38-year old chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe, whose reservation lies about 200 miles northeast of Rapid City, S.D. The tribal chairman said 500 power lines were brought down in a blizzard in November, and that between 2,000 and 3,000 more have been lost since Friday from ice storms.
The Cheyenne River tribe is made up of four of the seven bands of Lakota Sioux Indians in the Dakotas, whose reservations also include the Pine Ridge, Standing Rock and Rosebud bands. Power-line damage across all reservations may exceed 5,000 downed poles, which tribal authorities said may take weeks or months for utility companies to repair.
"These events are showing just how painfully inadequate our emergency response capabilities are. Because of one ice storm, we had over 3,000 downed electrical lines and mass power outages," said Tracey Fischer, chief executive and president of First Nations Oweesta Corporation, a national nonprofit working on economic development in Indian country.
"There has been looting of homes and businesses by people desperate for food and water. Schools have been out of sessio
Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe out of water after storm Wednesday, January 27, 2010 Filed Under: Environment | National
The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe declared a state of emergency after thousands went without water following a severe winter storm.
The system that supplies water to 14,000 people failed when the power went out on the reservation. Generators that were brought in malfunctioned and water might not be restored until Friday.
“It is pretty serious. We have quite a few families that are without water at this point. And quite a bit of families that are, homes that are without electricity also,” Chairman Joseph Brings Plenty told KELO-TV.
The tribe has set up shelters across the reservation and imposed an 8pm curfew.
