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. The song was composed by Arlee Nesjahi, a Navajo.
