THE STORY OF THE DRUM

as told by the Secwepemc-Indians in Kamloops/BC Canada

It is said that when the Creator was giving a place for all the spritis to dwell who would be taking part in the inhabitance of Mother earth, there came a sound, a loud Boom, from off in the distance.

As Creator listened, the sound kept coming closer and closer until it was right in front of Creator. „Who are you?“ Asked Creator. „I am the spirit of the drum“ was the reply. I have come here to ask you to allow me to take part in this wonderful thing.“ „How will you take part?“ Creator questioned. „I would like to accompany the singing of the people. When they sing from their hearts, I will sing as though I was the heart beat of Mother Earth. In that way, all creation will sing in harmony.“ Creator granted the request, and from then on, the drum accompanied the people’s voice.

Throughout all the indigenous peoples of the world, the drum is the centre of all songs. It is the catalyst for the spirit of songs to rise up to the Creator so that the prayers in those songs reach were they meant to go. At all times, the sound of the drum brings completeness, awe, excitement, solemnity, strength, courage and the fulfillment to the songs. It is mother’s heart beat giving her approval to those living upon her. It draws the eagle to it, which carries the message to creator.

It changes people’s lives!
