Their music is characterized by its profound reverence for tradition, as it comes together under the unifying forces of the Spirit of the Song, the Power of the Drum, Peace, Friendship, and Brotherhood. The Buffalo Hat Singers exhibit a deep-seated passion for their craft, which is evident in their unwavering commitment to disseminate elements of North American Indigenous Culture to a global audience through the mediums of song and dance. Over the course of several years, the Buffalo Hat Singers have actively participated in a diverse array of public and private gatherings.
