Biography
The Mandaree Singers are among the most well respected and legendary singing groups of all time. This release was recorded live at 2008 Shakopee Mdewakanton Wacipi. All the songs on this recording were sung at one time from the early 60’s “River Bottom Days” to the late 80’s by the original Mandaree Singers. There have been many gifted and talented singers from the Mandan Hidatsa and Arikara Nation and in the past that have composed veterans, individual and pow wow songs. The Mandaree Singers were originally known as the Black Lodge singers, having to do with the clan affiliation and later changed the name to Mandaree, the name of the community that they moved too, when the Missouri River bottom lands, where they lived, were flooded and they were forced to relocate to the plateaus above the Garrison Dam. Many songs from this era were “purchased” by other tribes and you can hear Mandaree songs sung all over the Pow Wow Nation.
