Four Corners Public Radio | By Sheila Nanaeto
Published September 24, 2012 at 2:10 PM MDT

"RIGHT NOW" was recorded live at the 23rd Annual CMU Celebrating Life Powwow in Mt. Pleasant, MI.  BEAR CREEK formed in 1998 has composed and produced 14 years of Northern Style Powwow Songs.  Always a crowd pleaser and a Dancer's Choice, BEAR CREEK presents a variety of songs on this recording.  Songs are composed and sang in either the Cree, Atikamek, Ojibwe and Dakota languages.  Members represent primarily the the Ojibwe Nation with some Cree, Menominee and Prairie Band of Patawtomi representation. BEAR CREEK is well known for the energy they bring to any powwow, as well as the strong back-up singing from long time member Nitanis "Kit" Largo.  BEAR CREEK has been Grammy-nominated and continues to "bring it" as singers and as a group.  "RIGHT NOW" is available on the Canyon Records label at www.canyonrecords.com
