Their fourth album On and On won a 2002 JUNO Award in the category of Best Music of Aboriginal Canada, while their fifth and sixth albums Mother Earth and Life Is... earned JUNO nominations in 2004 and 2006.

To date, the band has received three dozen nominations and wins at awards ceremonies across North America. Determined to match the success of their previous multi-award win
