Hummingbird Singers are an intertribal drum group representing the fallowing nations: Eastern Cherokee, Kiowa, Diné,
Apache, and Siletz.
Hummingbird Singers was formed in 1994, and has always encouraged youth to be active in their native community. We
believe it is important to be role models for our youth. We try and do that by setting high standards for our selves and our
youth now and for the future. For these reasons we choose to lead an alcohol and drug free life style. We do not discriminate
against the beliefs of others, but do try and encourage this way of life.
We have had the honor of being host, invited, and honored guest southern drum and have sung at many gatherings and
celebrations throughout the United States.
We would like to extend our gratitude to any and all people especially our Creator, our elders, and our family for
giving us constant support.
