People of the Drum

Seattle Peace Chorus presents music honoring the Native American legacy, featuring original compositions by Frederick N. West, soloists, instrumentalists, and dancers from local tribes. It will draw on several different Native American traditions, weaving stories from past and present, to illuminate the complexity, diversity and adversity of their experiences.

Native American tribes in the United States have had years of struggles to uphold treaties that protect their rights to fishing, hunting, and preservation of their sacred grounds. This work will include poetic renderings of these and other legacies, including the Navajo prayer Beauty before us, beauty behind us, we walk in beauty, it is finished in beauty.

Your ticket for Saturday or Sunday is good for either date. Please be aware, however that this year we are performing at two different venues:
