Asa Pierce LittleBird was born in Oklahoma City, OK on October 16, 1993. He passed away surrounded by family on Thursday, January 13, 2022 in Weatherford, OK.
Asa was a descendant of the LittleBird, LongWarrior, Buffalomeat and Birdsheads families he was Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kickapoo, Potowatami and Rosebud Sioux and grew up in Geary, OK where he graduated from Geary High School in 2013. As a child Asa spent numerous hours in the sweats with his dad and uncle Henry LittleBird learning songs; he entered the Sundance lodge and began singing for his people at the age of 7. Asa spent his childhood and youth with his grandmothers Myrcine BuffaloMeat, Rena YoungBear, Edna Sutton, Marguerite Sue Spottedcorn and Arapaho Chief Woman Tommie Rose Cravatt and his grandfathers Joe Birdshead, George Sutton, Fred Mosqueda and Chester Whiteman learning, as much as he could. The tribes songs and ceremonial teachings were his passion from a young age into adulthood. After graduating Asa moved to Canton, OK where he continued to be an avid member within the Cheyenne and Arapaho community and was often called up to sing and share his knowledge.
