Elk Hide and Willow Drum by Ann Keller
Ann's Drums Elk Hide and Willow Drum by Ann Keller, measures 15.5'' x 3.5'', FYI: '' I was a co-leader in a women's ritual group and met a drum maker who led each of us in making our own Native American style hoop frame drum. I knew I would teach others how to do this and began giving drum making workshops in 1998. Over the past 20 years, I've learned about and participated in many Native American and indigenous spiritual ceremonies, such as: sweat lodges, making prayer ties, and doing other rituals. I did these with a Lakota man and his wife, David Kukkola from the Saami tribe, and Bruce Elijah from the Oneida tribe. I did intensive body spirit work with these medicine men focusing on inner spirit consciousness.Through my work with them, I found my medicine path. Each drum, rattle and drum bag I craft, is done in ceremony honoring the spirits of the animals, plants, and minerals who give themselves as healing tools for us. Drumming leads me into a deeper spiritual connection with myself and all the spirits around me. Ann's Drums are currently in the hands of people in Canada, Europe, Japan ,China, Australia and here in the U.S.''
