Their repertoire consists of various pow-wow dance songs including grass and jingle dance as well as prayer and honoring songs. A family-oriented group, Eagle Spirit's songs seek to honor Mother Earth and to connect with Spirit. They do not so much seek to "perform" these songs, but to pray with communities they sing and drum for, honoring the four directions and the gifts of Great Spirit.
Drum-keeper Mark Owens (Choctaw & Sac-n-Fox) was recently honored by KQED as an American Indian Heritage Local Hero. As the Program Director for the Marin Abused Women's Services Men's Violence Program, Mark teaches men and women to use certain tools to cultivate safe, healthy and loving environments. Mr. Owens is faithfully trying to introduce this program to American-Indian reservations nationwide. He also brings his culture to people outside of his community through his Native-American drum group, Eagle Spirit and the Medicine Warrior Dancers, and through singing, storytelling, public speaking and meditations. Mr. Owens lives in Sebastapol with his loving wife, two wonderful children, a fabulous Australian Shepherd dog, Omar, 4 dairy goats and a few chickens and a huntress cat, Maggie Underfoot.
The drum is the heartbeat of the Earth. Eagle Spirit's the drumming and singing weaves it's way thru the deep conciousness of all faiths, resonating in our collective DNA with the power of peace. We hope you will connect with Mother Earth and to your own voice of peace by listening to these ancient songs. All my relations.
