"The Drum" Aired Some Songs to Honor Veterans from Indian Country

World War II Memorial

"The Drum" dedicated a show to honor veterans from Indian Country. Tobias (Omaha, Dakota, Navajo, Cherokee) and Jessica (Paiute, Bannock, Washo) created a playlist filled with honor songs for our veterans. Memorial Day is reserved for the last monday in May and this year "The Drum" showed some love to Native veterans from Indian Country by not only playing these tunes, but also reading some shout-outs to some of the Native veterans. In addition to the honor songs, the playlist includes Harmonized Peyote/Prayer Songs of the Native American Church--to honor the brave soldiers who gave their lives protecting our Native homelands. "The Drum" dedicated this two hour special to all veterans in appreciation to those who served our country. To listen to the show live, log-on to AIROS.org or KZUM.org every Sunday night from 7-9 p.m. (C.T.) Also check "The Drum's" myspace page at www.myspace.com/thedrum402.
