No elder at my drum.

[blackindian_pride]

Sup y'all
I'm the lead singer of a drum, and we've got elders that are around and help us when needed, but there isn't an elder that sits with us at pow wow. This kinda worries me a little because I'm young, and I don't want people to think that I'm not respecting our traditions.
Do y'all think that a drum should have an elder sitting with them at pow wow?

i dunno,i just always though it depended on who you want on your drum.

As long as you know all your songs and can back up where you got it & all that, it shouldn't matter if there is an elder there or not.

It dosen't matter cause some drummers are all just young bucks or just lil' kidz who are drumming.
