Invited Drums
Each year
several drums are invited
to attend the Gathering of Nations
Pow Wow. They are carefully selected during the previous summer based
on popularity and quality of their singing. We honor them by inviting
them to share their songs with all the people who attend the
"Gathering". The songs which are composed by these groups
are composed by the singers themselves. It has been said, "the
singing" at the Gathering of Nations is of concert quality. On
Saturday evening all of the invited drums come together to sing the
Gathering of Nations Song, for the Grand Entry.
