Cree Confederation is an indigenous pow-wow singing group that has become a resonant voice in the world of Native American music, celebrated for their powerful and rhythmic songs that echo the rich heritage of the Cree people. With roots in the Plains Cree culture, this ensemble has garnered acclaim for their commitment to preserving the traditions and language of their ancestors through their music. The diversity of their songs, which range from vibrant pow-wow tunes to the more introspective round dance songs, showcases the dynamic nature of Cree music and storytelling.

Over the years, Cree Confederation has released a series of albums that have both honored traditional forms and showcased their innovative evolution of the genre.

Their album, "Horse Dance - Mistatim Simoowin," another notable effort, reflects the deep connection between the horse and the Plains Cree people, a recurring theme in their music that resonates with audiences. Cree Confederation’s ability to bridge the gap between the past and the present has earned them a respected place in the pow-wow circuit and among enthusiasts of Indigenous music.
