In Native American culture our veterans are honor and held in a position of honor. This is the way our culture has always been, as in the days before discovery we honored those who provided protection and preservation of our tribal members. Today you will see many gatherings where during the Grand Entry all of the dancers follow the Veterans who are the honor guard and carry the flags. Some Pow Wows will have the drums play only one veterans song and others may play up to four. These songs were written by our ancestors to honor the hero's in our tribes.
We honor those who have served and who are serving and keep them close to our hearts. The job they do is sometimes tough, and even with the difference of opinion in our country we know that they are serving to defend the freedoms we have in this country.
