Smoke Trail Singers

We are based in Alderville First Nation in Ontario, Canada. Our group has been together approximately 30 years, and were initially called Rice Lake Singers. Smoke Trail is a family drum group and as our family grew, we decided to change to our family name; Smoke. We are primarily a Northern Traditional Powwow drum group. We are well known in and around the powwow circuit and have won various awards. As well, we have had the honour of being host drum, guest drum and invited drum for many events throughout eastern Canada. We have composed many of our own songs, each holding a special meaning. We perform and facilitate specific aboriginal song and dance to educate cultural awareness. We have had the opportunity to perform in many venues such as grassroots festivals, museums and schools. In addition, we have performed at the Toronto Rock Lacrosse Team's season opening, in concerts with Susan Aglukark, Shane Yellowbird, Michelle Wright, and Buffy Ste. Marie as well as her music video, No No Keshagesh.
