The Great Thunder Chicken Drummers were brought together by Peter Baldwin in mid-coast Maine. They have performed harmoniously during solstices and equinoxes in response to ancient Otom/Toltec/Teotihuacan prophecies about healing our Mother Earth. Today their quarterly ceremonies are performed synchronously in 192 countries with the internet, to heal all persons, relationships and ecosystems within our galaxy and beyond.
The members are not uniformly Native American. Tom Thornton, a Sun Dance Singer and mentor for the Boy Scout Order of the Arrow, is the group song leader. White Hawk is the Drum Keeper and Elder, Star Walker, Little Pretty Shield, Murielle, Mike, Ronn, Cindy and Chuck. The group has been together for 9 years and finds healing, joy, laughter and Spiritual reinforcement in playing and singing together in English, Mi’Qmak and sometimes Cherokee and Sanskrit.
The group welcomes participation in sharing their teachings at our Opening and Closing Mediums Day Festivals this year. We are thrilled to have them join us again this season!
