Biography: Voices from the Urban Indigenous Campfire blends poetry, prose, and drama to illuminate Indigenous narratives. Each performer brings a distinct voice: Rena Priest’s powerful storytelling and poetry, Deborah Taffa’s Native-heritage perspectives, and Rhiana Yazzie’s Navajo-inspired writing. The group often collaborates on new plays and readings that premiere at arts centers and university venues, highlighting contemporary Indigenous life with honesty and artistry.
Discography & Works: Rather than traditional music albums, the ensemble’s published works span poetry collections, plays, and films that capture Indigenous experiences and community voices. Look for forthcoming publications or performances tied to festival circuits and campus events.
