In this video recorded during the 1997 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, Ulali perform "Mother" from the 1995 album Heartbeat: Voices of First Nations Women on Smithsonian Folkways.

Ulali is a group of First Nations women who combine drums, rattles, and other percussion instruments with their powerful voices to create a potent blend of traditional Native American roots music and contemporary styles. Pura Fé, Jennifer Kreisberg, and Soni Moreno formed the a capella trio in 1987 and have performed around the world, including work with the Indigo Girls and in the movie Smoke Signals. This performance of "Mother" exhibits the group's range and captivating talent.
