Robert Moore of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe in South Dakota will sing the national anthem at the Democratic convention in Denver next week.

Moore is an elected official in the tribe and has been a volunteer organizer for presidential candidate Barack Obama.

He will sing on Wednesday, Aug. 27, the same night that former South Dakota Sen. Tom Daschle is scheduled to speak.

Several groups from Colorado and the Mountain West region will participate in that evening's ceremonies.
