The Cherokee National Youth Choir was created in part by the then Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation Chad "Corntassel" Smith. It consists of youth of cherokee descent who sing gospel music in the cherokee language. The directors are Mary Kay Henderson and Kathy Sierra. The choir has sang at various venues around the United States, including singing for President George W. Bush, singing at Ground Zero in New York City, and singing alongside Dolly Parton at her amusement park, Dollywood. They have won numerous awards, including a NAMMY, which is a Native American Music Award, and they release a CD of various gospels each year. [1]
