"Through the drum, you connect with many things."

Richard Moar, Nehirowisiw

The drum is an integral part of the traditional cultures of First Peoples. It accompanies songs and dances and is a link between nature and humans. Between the mother's womb and the Earth's womb, the beat is the same. It’s the soul that breathes, the gates of spirituality that open. "And it's beautiful, very, very beautiful," as Richard Moar gently puts it.
