Also, we would like to acknowledge Chad Tachawwickah and Neka Logan for their assistance. Thanks Neka for your keen sticks.
Our leading ladies are Deloris Johnson, Retha Johnson, Heather Johnson, and Camille "Bubbles" Johnson. Special thanks to Georgia Noble, Julia Tiger, Sandy Nevaquaya, and Charlotte McCurtain for your beautiful voices.

Most of the songs on our albums have been made by various members of our group as well as songs given to us by friends who have "sat in" with us a time or two. We thank you for all your talents guys.
Our albums on the market include "Otter Trail-Family Songs" released in 1992 which earned us a Nammy nomination for best album, powwow compilation. "Otter Trail-New Chapter" released in 2000, "Otter Trail-Live at Tulsa" which was released in 2002. Our newest album in the works is entitled "Otter Trail-To the Limit" which will be released in the summer of 2003.
