Michael Jacobs

Michael Jacobs

There is no doubt that Cherokee recording artist Michael Jacobs is a remarkable and creative musician. An amazing singer, his passionate delivery is impressive. He sings like he means it... because he does. But Michael's skills as a songwriter, a painter with words and music, are what set him apart. His incredible blend of Native American and American "roots" music, a mixture of pop, rock, and folk, artfully fuses contemporary and traditional sounds and powerful imagery. His songs are the stories of life: of the past, present, and future - of beauty and pain, hope and heartache, and of love lost and love found.

Give your ears a special treat by listening to Michael Jacobs sing at the Lac du Flambeau Voyageurs Rendezvous.

Hoop Dreamz

Hoop Dreamz

The hoop dance is consistently the most requested dance throughout the United States. The hoops symbolize a sacred part of the Native American life. It represents the circle of life with no beginning and no ending. Watch as the dancer begins with on hoop and keeps adding and weaving the hoops into formations that represent our journey through life. Each added hoop represents another thread in the web of life.
