There just too bad!

I take it you're talking about the Mandaree drum that is currently traveling throughout California. Just a bunch of drum hoppers. Ask them to sing a Hidatsa song, and they couldn't do it. None of them can speak their language. They can not compose a song in their language and wouldn't be able to make a Hidatsa honor song. I guess this is how you become an old style drum group. There is a big difference between Mandaree and Eagle Mountain. If you noticed, in Morongo, Ca., all the old style drums were mainly composed of drum groups that don't know their language and don't know how to compose in that language. Enough for now.

coupcounter49, who are you to say the singers at Mandaree's drum are a bunch of drum hoppers. As you might have noticed at Morongo, sitting at that drum was the Now lead singer of Mandaree-Sidrick "Mister" Baker, well knowledged in Hidatsa songs (Son of the late Billy Baker). Billy Baker was the one who made Mandaree Singers what they are today, and that's a well known respected drum. Sitting there at that drum in Morongo was Mister's son, and myself his nephew (raised and taught how to sing by Billy Baker). Also there were members of the Three Tribes (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara), all given the right to sit at our drum, and members of other tribes either related to us or able to sing our style of singing, and that is Original. As you might know, there are only 6 or so original Mandaree Singers alive today, all well in age. They don't travel long distances anymore, but we still carry on their teachings and sing as they once did. We still sing the songs composed by Billy Baker, songs that can still Rock the powwow arena. So who are you to say we don't know OUR songs, I didn't see you sitting there next to us. I think you are one who is just jealous of ones gifted to sing, I bet you couldn't even sing a Hidatsa song yourself, or if asked to sing a honor song, even sing the appropriate one. I know for a fact we can! So before you open your mouth, get your facts straight and open your eyes and see who is really sitting at Mandaree's drum, and that's Mandaree Singers! Oh...keep standing behind our drum too!....too scared to reveal your name and face the fact that you aren't a Mandaree Singer!
