Red Shadow Singers

The Red Shadow Singers  ~ Ghost Dance Songs (2005); Manitou Api – A Return to the Centre (2007); is a group that has been identified as the main drum group at the Turtle Lodge.  Originating from a number of First Nations across Canada, they represent the Turtle Lodge as they carry the sacred songs that came through the Turtle Lodge, through ceremony, prayer and fasting.

The Red Shadow Singers are often invited to sing the sacred songs.  They have been honoured by nominations at music awards, in the traditional category, in the United States and Canada.  To indigenous people, the drum represents the heartbeat of Mother Earth and carries the voice of the people.  The Red Shadow Singers ask that their songs, received through ceremony, be used in spiritual ways for healing or prayer.
