Born and raised on the Navajo Reservation, Kevin Russell attended Arizona State University where he was President of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) and founded the Native American Wellness Society.

The Yellowhouse Dancers

The Yellowhouse Dancers include some well-known singers and dancers that travel all around Indian country performing at powwows and other cultural events. This group is led by Lane Jensen who placed sixth in the 2010 World Hoop Dancing Championships at the Heard Museum. His 10-year-old son, Tyrese, earned the title of Youth World Hoop Dancing Champion!

Estun-Bah

Experience the sounds of the Southwest. With the gentleness of the Apache cane, Estun-Bah will take you on an endless journey of love songs and enchanting musical landscapes. The soft blend of the Native American flute with the elegant touch of the acoustic guitar will soothe the mind and en-rich the soul. Estun-Bah is the premier Native sound of the Southwest. Soar with the eagles. Listen to the heartbeat of Mother Earth. Feel the first beams of the sunrise.
