Steiger Butte Singers of Chiloquin, Oregon

The group’s name, Steiger Butte, originates from a Vision Quest Site west of Chiloquin, Oregon traditionally used by tribal people. The Steiger Butte Drum, which has been in existence since the 1950s, is a family group that travels the United States and the Pacific Northwest. Now in their third generation of singers, Steiger Butte includes fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, nephews and nieces. Klamath Tribe representative Taylor Tupper describes Steiger Butte as a Northern-style pow-wow drum. The group has previously performed at the Britt Festival, including for the world premiere of Michael Gordon’s Natural History, and for the Crater Lake—Mirror of Heaven, documentary.
