The Drum is an important instrument cross culturally, giving both rhythm and meaning to life. It provides the beat for dancers to proudly offer their thanks and praise to the Creator during ceremonies. It is a way of carrying songs and prayers to the Creator and healing the sick. The tradition of the drum is important today and is a way of bringing communities together. From the earliest times, honoring animals for the giving of their lives to feed and clothe the People is to utilize the entire animal. In the making of hide drums we honor the animals and invite their 'medicine' or spirit to walk with the drum to guide us in remembering 'we are all related' and help us walk in a good way upon our Mother.
