The Cherokee National Youth Choir was created in part by Chad "Corntassel" Smith, the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. 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 sung at various venues around the United States, including singing for former 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 (the Native American Music Award), and they release a new CD of gospels each year.[1]
