Guided by Indigenous leader Qwetoselten, secondary school participants learned about the art of drum-making, blending creativity with cultural learning. The workshop offered a meaningful opportunity to explore Indigenous craftsmanship and understand the drum’s cultural and spiritual importance.
As attendees shaped their drums, they practiced careful techniques under Qwetoselten’s direction, gaining insight into the drum’s role in storytelling, ceremonies and traditions. The room was filled with focus and respect, reflecting the significance of this cultural art form.
