Driven by a deep passion to educate communities about Indigenous culture, Cheenulka founded and directs the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/RedHawkSingersAndDancers?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Red Hawk Singers and Dancers</a>.
