This is where you can keep track of all your favorite Oklahoma Northern Style Drum Groups. For those Drum Groups that are willing to share their information here on the Pow-Wow Oklahoma! website, your listening public can easily match the names to the faces when they attend an Oklahoma Pow-Wow. For those that aren't aware, the Singers and the Drum are the heartbeat of any Pow-Wow. Without these two simple elements, it would be hard pressed to call any relative event a true Pow-Wow. Most of the Northern Drum Groups are well established throughout Oklahoma and the Nation, so they don't really need any extra introduction to those on the Pow-Wow trail; but we will do our part to help them out with some additional exposure. While some weekend "pick-up" Drum Groups help add variety to any Pow-Wow, this section is only designed to help promote well established Drum Groups that sing together frequently or exclusively. Please understand and respect this decision "before" you send in your Drum Group's bio information. The following information will need to be emailed to the "Webmaster" by the drum group's Creator or Lead Singer. Everything listed below is of course "optional".

We do our best to teach what we know to others so that our ways and traditions live on through others so it wont be lost.

The Red Land Singers are: Eddy Arkeketa, Tony Arkeketa, John Arkeketa, George Coser, Pete Coser Sr., Pete Coser Jr., Wayne Coser, Poncho Fields, Berwyn Moses Sr., Bobby Howe, and Dean Welch.
Biography: A brief history: Red Land Singers Today, the group consists of eighteen members representing an association with ten federally recognized tribes. Since 1968, the group has had the privilege to travel across the nation to many tribal or Indian organizational events to serve as host, drum, being recognized for their northern style of singing. In retrospect, members of the group were not accomplished or knowledgeable singers at the outset. Because of their individual interest to learn, they have become well-established individuals through repetitive training to become a singer. Each participates actively within their own tribal Traditions, thus, enhancing their knowledge in a spiritual way. This brings an added value collectively to the group. This knowledge from "hands-on" experience, in a traditional manner, has contributed to the overall prominence of the group.
