Second Drum-Making Workshop is on March 25th, 26th, 2013

Drums are known as the heart beat of the Nisga’a Nation. Each drum to be made at the drum-making Workshop may become a part of one’s Spiritual Journey. Drumming is a ritual of spiritual healing, connection with others, and a higher expression with the Universe and a connection to our Ancestors. The drum will be assembled on the first day of the Workshop and painted on the second day of the Workshop.
