Sorry dude....inflation....20 bux and 2 ndn tacos per brat!!!!!!!!!!To get a true picture of your purpose in life, you only get the whole picture when you listen with your mind, your ears and your heart. This way The Creator has a direct connection with you and only you...no outside interference.
When you follow the will of IT that created you, understanding that your purpose is not for you...but for IT and all that IT has created, there can be no wrong except failure to be obedient. Only then do we jeopardize the gifts we are given.

I dunno, as far as I'm concerned... on a southern drum, the only people actually at the drum should be men, with the women backing them up seated directly behind them. That's my opinion and I have never seen anything different on a southern drum....
Now northern is a different story, my wife is from the Pacific Northwest, and there are a lot of all women or mostly women or mixed drums I have seen out there when we go to pow wows out there. Most are family drums, but my wife and some of her friends formed an all women drum group when she was younger and sang all over the northwest with no problem, even contesting with no problem.
She and I have definate differences of opinion on this matter, but she knows as long as I am a Southern singer it is a moot point, if I was singing northern though... it may be a different story.I became a singer because I love to sing... and to feed my addiction to cough drops!Comment

Normally, I would put this in the 2 singing threads but this is more about drums. . .
I was with a group of Indians and we were helping out with some workshops for school aged children. When it was time to change work stations, a blonde, non Indian woman would beat a hand drum that she...10-31-2008, 05:51 PM -
I was in a recent meeting where there is a proposal to have a music room where kids can come and beat on Native drums from different tribes. Among these would be a powwow drum and Iroquois water drum.
I did not say anything, but thought I would put this proposal on line to get some feedback....11-20-2010, 05:20 PM -
Drum ettiquete is different according to northern and southern arenas, regions, tribes and how individuals are taught (or not taught).
I have heard many people state that drums are not supposed to touch the ground or be left unattended. But I have seen at most summer dances drums left...05-25-2004, 02:40 PM -
I had originally posted in the southern singing when I realised that I posted in the wrong category. This is still all new to me.
I want to know if women can use the drum and I would like to know where I could find teachers I could learn from.
I've been doing what I can...06-19-2000, 08:22 PM
