The Cedar River Drum is a traditional northern drum based in Vermillion South Dakota.

The Drum was formed in Yakama Washington in the summer of 2000, By Jerome Kills Small's Grandson's Zack and Isacc, Mandated to improve the status of Native Americans, To foster inter-cultural understanding and to encourge community involvement. Native American migration between urban centers and reservations demonstrates the interrelatedness of all Native Americans, and from this reality emerges the recognition that our issues and concerns are truly shared. One of our philosophy's is that solutions can be shared as well. 

The Cedar River drum is in a transition of going back to it's roots  bringing  back the old school style of the Lakota Nation's sounds, With the assistance and direction of our Grand Pa  and song keeper Jerome kills Small, a well known artist and Instructor of Lakota language and culture at U.S.D. Jerome will  be composing our next C.D. A collection of songs dedicated to the water, plants, and all our animal relatives that we all need to sustain and keep our world balanced.

 The Cedar River Singers visit  between 30-40 schools throughout the year educating students about Native American Dance, Music, and Culture. A major emphasis is placed on teaching and correcting Native American stereotypes and misconceptions that still exist in this country. 

  "We are very proud of the many milestones we have crossed. We perform at festivals, civic organizations, colleges, universities, adult care centers, state and federal correction centers, and pow-wows, in Nebraska, Illinois, South Dakota ,Iowa, Minnesota And Wisconsin.We hope to see you all soon  blessings to you and your families"
