Running for the Drum won the prestigious Juno Award for Aboriginal Album of the Year. Apart from a reworking on the track "Little Wheel Spin and Spin", all of the tracks here are newly written and unique to this album. The album opens with two aboriginal influenced songs, "No No Keshagesh" (the album's only single and made as if to sound at a rally) and "Cho Cho Fire". Sessions for this album began in 2006 until 2007, mostly recorded in Sainte-Marie's home recording studio in Hawaii and part in France. Running for the Drum features the DVD documentary on Buffy Sainte-Marie, A Multimedia Life, which features exclusive interviews with artists such as Joni Mitchell and Taj Mahal and performances by Sainte-Marie. The album's title comes from a lyric in the song "Cho Cho Fire".
