Eastern Medicine Singers to Perform at East Hartford Public Library

Join us on the library lawn on Sunday, October 16 at 3 PM for a thrilling performance from the Eastern Medicine Singers!

An Algonquin Drum Group from Woonsocket/Providence RI, the Eastern Medicine Singers are dedicated to keeping the Eastern Woodlands American Indian culture alive. The drum is made up of RI, NY, NJ, and Southeastern Massachusetts tribes, who are proud to sing and drum in the language of Massachuset and Wampanoag dialect. The Singers thank elder speakers of the language both past and present for their help, honoring especially Clinton Lightning Foot Wixon, Donald Three Bears Fisher, and Julieann Jennings, and strive to be a traditional, all-inclusive drum and sing for our Eastern people. They also honor past Eastern drums Nipmuc Turtle Drum and Full Circle drum, many of whose past drum members have sat welcome with them.

For all ages. Bring chairs or a picnic blanket to sit on. In the event of inclement weather, the program will be moved indoors.
