The Wolf Cry Singers... Who We Are
We are woman's hand drum group from
Massachusetts.  We were founded in 2003 by Tanya
Martinez with the intention of bringing women together
with the hand drum.
The songs and chants we sing include traditional and
contemporary Mi'kMaq, Cherokee, Navajo, Abenaki
and Delaware. We have written our own songs to add
to our collection that are mostly in English and are
continually adding songs in the different languages
as they are shared with us so that we can share them
with the communities we belong to and those we
travel to.
We have performed at pow wows throughout New
England and in Canada, at ceremonies, and at many
cultural events promoting Native American
awareness.
Our Mission.........
Our mission is to keep the spirit and languages alive
through our music and connection as women to each
other and All Our Relations.
We give thanks to Creator every day for this gift of
song.
