Fuck it I've made a pretty big list of Pow Wow drum groups either for ppl already in the pow wow scene but wanted more drum group recs, or for people just getting into pow wow music & wanted some recs. I've split them up into groups by where they were founded and (usually) most of their members are from, because if you go to a pow wow in one of those countries, then you're a bit more likely to see the groups that are from there in person. Note that this is not an exhaustive list, there's a LOT more that I'm either forgetting, haven't heard of, or they have not posted their music on any streaming sites.

Canada

Northern Cree, Whitefish Jrs, Red Bull, Young Spirit, Seekaskotch, Little Island Cree, Big River Cree, Iron Swing, Cree Confederation, Poundmaker, Little Axe, Moccasin Flat, Mosquito, Mountain Soul, Northern Wind, Blackfoot Confederacy, Eya-Hey Nakoda, Bear Creek, Rock Hill, Cree Society, Stoney Park, Black Bear, Eastern Eagle Singers

Mini Monday Merriment!

Dancing is often considered a cultural universal. That means that it is an action which can be found in all known cultures across the world. There is so much beauty to be found in dancing.

Dance Circle by Carol Cunningham with illustrations by Jacqueline Phelan discusses specific dances and their significance to various Native cultures. She highlights Wolf, Fancy Shawl, Eagle, and Crown Dancers in this mini, and these dances can be seen at powwows across America.

This mini has a very unique binding. It's called a box binding, and the points of the cover overhang ever so slightly giving a very nice tactile experience. On the inside of the box, there's a figure holding a pretty blue feather as a fan. It measures in at 70 x 75 mm from spine to point.
