34th Annual Yaqan Nukiy Traditional Pow Wow
May 21st, 22nd, 23rd 2027

We are very pleased to announce that ShowTime Singers have been secured as our next host drum for our annual traditional pow wow. ShowTime are the latest champion singers at the most recent Gathering of Nations pow wow. We look forward to your gifts of song and can’t wait to hear you bless our circle! Bio attached below.

ShowTime Singers

Established in 2015, ShowTime Singers is an original style powwow singing group born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The group was founded on generations of traditional Lakota and Cheyenne teachings passed on from their elders.
Prior to the formation of the drum, there were hardships and difficulties endured within their families and communities. Therefore, the singers were driven to bring a healing energy to the people, as well as for themselves.
Over the years many singers representing their respective tribal nations have contributed to the drum group. ShowTime has traveled throughout North America and across seas sharing their music for the people to enjoy!
ShowTime is very proud and humbled for the drums journey! May the Creator continue to bless our Indigenous people with good health and happiness, for today is a gift as tomorrow is not promised.
