All Nations Juniors
Founded in 2012, All Nations Juniors is a youth drum group based in Tkaronto, performing a blend of traditional and contemporary styles. The group emerged out of Toronto Council Fire’s Little Embers Youth program, comprised of youth from many different Nations including Dakota, Anishinaabe, Chippewa, Cree, and Haudenosaunee, as well as invited non-Indigenous — thus, All Nations. As the original All Nations drum group transitioned into adulthood, the All Nations Juniors continued the powerful legacy of Toronto Council Fire’s drum. The group has composed many songs, like the Cree/Ojibway song, “Everyone Welcome,” which honours all people across Turtle Island.
