EasternBull Drum and Singers
( www.easternbull.com ) 
|
The EasternBull Drum and Singers were formed in 1994 with the assistance from the East Carolina Native American Organization (ECNAO), which was under the leadership of Kim Sampson Hunt at that time. Founded on the philosophy of community involvement, the Drum visits between 30-40 schools throughout the year educating students about Native American Dance, Music, and Culture. A major emphasis is placed on teaching and correcting the Native American stereotypes and misconceptions that still exist in this country. The Drum also performs at festivals, civic organizations, adult care centers, state and federal correction centers, and pow-wows throughout North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.
The group is composed of members of the Cherokee, Meherrin, Coharie, Lumbee, Monacan, Chickahominy, Waccamaw-Siouan, Metis, Tuscarora, and Mattamuskeet tribes.
