Red Territory

 

The first drum group at Yale Universty was Blue Feather Drum Group. Founded in 2013, Blue Feather showcased both traditional and contemporary drum music, fosters intertribal exchange, and creates a welcoming space for cultural participation.

 

The drum group was established on November 12, 2013 by Reed Bobroff (ES ‘16), Sebi Medina-Tayac (DC ‘16), Dinée Dorame (ES ‘15), Mallory Isburg (ES ‘17), David Rico (BR ‘16), and Rose Bear Don’t Walk (JE ‘16).  Blue Feather has performed at Indigenous People’s Day events, the ANAAY Powwow, and other regional events. If you would like to see past performance, please check at our Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/bluefeatheryale/feed

 

As of Fall 2019, the Yale Drum Group was officially re-named Red Territory. Current group members include Nicholas Collyge (JE ‘23), Mckenzie Denham (ES ‘23), Lex Schultz (SA ‘24),  Mara Gutierrez (PC ‘25), Jordan Sahly (TC ‘24),  and Oscar Turner (‘24).
