The Native American Drum Circle – Heart Beat of Mother Earth

Saturday, August 15, 2020, 11 AM to 1 PM AND 2 PM TO 4 PM

The drum beat holds significance in Native American custom; tribes use drums in daily life and in ceremonies. Many tribes believe that the beat of the drums represent the unwavering pulse of Mother Earth.

Please join Reed Brown, Oglala, Lakota Tribe, South Dakota, to learn about the significance of the Native American drum, and how to drum to different beats of Traditional Native songs. This interactive workshop is suited to those who are interested in understanding ancestral Native knowledge of the First People of North America. We encourage all who attend to bring their own hand drum.

As a Native American drummer and singer, Reed is committed to lifting awareness about ancestral knowledge wherever he goes through song, storytelling, and traditional teachings.

​

Workshop is $20 and includes:  $5 Artifact Show (paid at the gate) and $15 drumming workshop (suggested donation) paid separately during the workshop.   This workshop will be held outside.  Social Distancing and Masks will be required.
