They specialize in singing songs from the Ponca, Kiowa, Omaha, Pawnee, and Osage nations, honoring the teachings and traditions of these tribes through their music. Over the years, the Walking Bear Singers have become well-known for their commitment to preserving and sharing the southern style of powwow singing, offering an authentic and meaningful presence at gatherings and cultural events throughout the region.
