Music and dance are representatives of the full range of life for American Indians. They are integral fuels that have always fed the fires of honor and traditions. American Indian dance is not a form of mindless amusement. It is a form of praise, worship and a way to experience interconnectedness through motion.
The drum has played a huge role in the Native American ceremony and culture as well as becoming as icon of their people. Drums have been used for thousands of years in every country for healing, dancing, chanting and singing. The drum becomes an extension of the drummer through use, love, vibration and even the oil from the hands that is absorbed.
