Make your miniature version of a traditional Salish hand drum using deer hide, sinew, and a frame, then customize it with design work, feathers, and beads. The drum is not just a music maker, but a voice for the soul within the music. The drum is more than a musical instrument to those who own and play it, as it is considered to have a life of its own and is regarded as having a powerful spirit. In the Squamish and Lil’wat Nations’ traditions, the drum symbolizes the heartbeat of our people. Please note the coloured design is only an example.
