In 1982 Steve Wood, and his brothers Randy and Earl Wood founded the Northern Cree Singers.The group originates from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation but is made up of members from the Treaty 6 area, most notably the Frog Lake Cree Nation, Onion Lake Cree Nation, Samson Cree Nation, Louis Bull Cree Nation, and the Poundmaker Cree Nation.

They have garnered multi-Grammy nominations, multi-Juno nominations, and have been awarded multi-Native American Music Awards and Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards.They have also won numerous powwow-singing competitions.They have also created music for, and appeared in, the major motion picture “Grey Owl,” which was produced and directed by the great Lord Richard Attenborough.
Northern Cree are role models for all First Nations people and live by their founder’s motto: 

“If you believe in yourself, who you are, where you come from, your culture and more importantly your language, it will take you to places you have never even dreamed of.”
