Enjoy a Drum Making session with Snuneymuxw First Nation member, Donna Manson.

Location: Kin Hut #12730 Departure Bay Rd, Nanaimo, BC  Learn teachings about the making and using of the drum per the teachings she has learned and shares. After the drums are finished we will have a short time of sharing with tea, salmon and crackers, and fruit. The drum offers the heartbeat that connects us through celebrations, ceremonies, prayers and daily life within the First Nations communities of Canada. ‘Connection is the correction.’ Crimson Coast Dance is honoured to support the hosting of this event on behalf of Donna Manson. Bring your good spirit and learn more about the beauty of Coast Salish traditions, practices and protocol. **Note, these drums are made by Donna’s son Isaac with the wood of the land and skins harvested locally by First Nation members. Donna works to ensure the materials are quality for this purpose. Each has a unique voice. We hope you will enjoy the voice of your drum. We are unable to guarantee its sound, tone or timber, or to take responsibility otherwise.
