Red Eagle Drummers
The Red Eagle Drummer group was started 4 years ago by Jeannie Bartibogue and has now been under the guidance of Bobby Sylliboy for almost 3 years. There are 8 young boys who are a part of this group. Together they meet Mondays and Thursdays from 6-7:30 to practice and have been invited to many events in the province to perform.
Some of the things the group has played for over the past few years are the opening of the community school, in Fredericton they opened for an art show , a mini pow-wow in the neighboring Pabineau area, drummed for catholic church, as well as for district 16 event.
Together they are making a difference in their lives and others in the communities they play for. Going back to tradition and spiritual ways an have become truly proud of themselves. When they drum you can easily sense the cultural pride.
