Fireside with Lyndon: Lead Singers
In First Nations cultures, Lead Singers are called upon to sing traditional songs at Ceremony. During Pow Wow, Round Dance, Sun Dance, funerals and weddings (to name a few), Lead Singers will know the songs to sing.
Join us at Remai Modern on March 20 at 7 PM for our next Fireside with Lyndon!
Marc Okihcihtaw and Allan Bonaise are recognized and honoured Lead Singers from Saskatchewan. They travel the province, the country and the United States in their capacity as Lead Singers.
At Fireside with Lyndon, Okihcihtaw and Bonaise will share their stories.
Marc Okihcihtaw is from Sturgeon Lake First Nation and Allan Bonaise is from Little Pine First Nation, both in Treaty 6 Territory. At a young age, they started learning the songs and protocols of Plains Cree culture. Today, they are recognized as Lead Singers.
Both singers belong to Young Scouts, a drum group that was nominated for a 2024 Traditional Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year Juno Award for their album Drum Nation.
