Biography
Formed in the winter of 2007, Cree Confederation has made and met their aspirations of becoming a recognizable Pow Wow group across Indian Country. With so many great groups that have encouraged and mentored this dream, the Cree Confedz have taken their place in the winner’s circle amongst champions. Wherever we travel, we represent the Cree people of the Treaty Six areas. It is with humble regard that we share the music and language of their grandfathers with a style that is a hybrid of Original and Contemporary style of singing. Singing is our way of expression, our chosen way of sharing and spreading the beauty that is our Indian music. We would like to thank the Spotlight 29 Pow Wow Committee for allowing this recording to take place at their annual event. Special thanks to Robert Doyle and Stephen Butler for believing that our music is a gift that gives life Hiy Hiy.
