The caption of the settlement's universe tells that Father Sun issued a warning that if the citizenry were to neglect or forget their traditions exclusively, person else would come along and take their lands. The Black Eagle Singers are a force keeping the musical traditions of their ancestors alive in Jemez, a community consecrated sufficiency to this ism to teach its children the original native spoken language of Towa before they are allowed to study English. The group consists of five-spot members of the Yepa kinship group and four-spot other singers, all covering a combination of singing and expressive calendar method through with on the large traditional powwow membranophone. Terrence and Kendrick Casiquito also derive from a melodious family, and the lead singer is Glendon Toya. The group credits Little Jimmy Coyote as their introduction to the world of powwows, where the Black Eagle Singers at present perform, peculiarly in the southeastern United States United States. The grouping was as well granted a few assists down the powwow give chase by the Black Lodge Singers, one of the genre's most striking performing groups. The Black Eagle grouping has recorded a half-dozen different productions for various independent labels specializing in Native American or "na" music.

Bandmember David Yepa is too a attorney in the Jemez pueblo, and was one of a little grouping of big local residents appointed by late President Bill Clinton to the board of trustees for the new Valles Caldera National Preserve. This represents around 95,000 demesne purchased by the federal government for a cool $101 1000000, to be determine aside from whatever future exploitation. Naturally, the residents of Jemez have much to be happy around with this decision. In 1999, Jemez became the land site of the largest ever repatriation of Indian human remains and related to funerary objects. The Black Eagle Singers performed at a ceremonial in May of that year, in which Yepa too presented a petition in his capacity as War Captain. As a outcome of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), a big ingathering of human cadaver from the Peabody Museum in Harvard and funerary objects from the institution's sister museum in Andover were transported to Jemez and reburied. The folk received some other honor when unitary of its members, Benny Shendo, Jr., was named Secretary of Indian Affairs in the New Mexican government. Throughout this meter, Black Eagle continued to record, releasing Star Child (2000), Life Goes On (2002), Flying Free (2003), which won them a Grammy for Best Native American Music Album, Straight Up Northern (2005), and Voice of the Drums (2006).
