Native American Drum

Ritual and artisanal instruments that honor traditions

 

The Native American drum is much more than just a musical instrument : it is the beating heart of indigenous peoples. Used in ceremonies by Native American tribes—from the Sioux to the Navajo, Lakota, Cherokee, Dakota, and Apache—the drum embodies the connection to Mother Earth and the Great Spirit.

Among the Plains tribes and the Pueblo Indians of the Southwest, each hand drum, frame drum, and ceremonial percussion instrument is considered a sacred object.

Its rhythmic pulse, similar to the beating of the heart, connects ancestors and the living in a circle of harmony and respect.



Native American art and craftsmanship in the service of spirituality


Handcrafted by Native American artisans, the drums are made from hardwoods such as walnut and covered with carefully stretched natural skins. Each drum skin is chosen with respect, recalling the herds of bison or animals that fed the Native Americans.

Native American culture places a central role on this indigenous instrument, used during powwows, circle dances, ghost dances, and even moments of tribal meditation.

These percussion instruments are also linked to Native American history, the Indians' westward migration, and the transmission of their indigenous cultures.

Each model reflects Native American art and tribal craftsmanship:

  • Traditional hand drums to accompany songs and rituals;

  • Frame drums for ancestral ceremonies of the Ojibwe, Iroquois, or Oglala Lakota;

  • Melodic and rhythmic percussion instruments for indigenous music and modern Native American music.



The soul of a living instrument


Owning a Native American drum means welcoming a sacred artifact into your life, a testament to American culture and Native American arts and crafts. Each beat recalls the unity of the Native Americans of North America, from the Great Basin to the Subarctic, through the Southern Plains and the Northwest Coast.

Native American music, marked by songs, percussion, and tribal rhythms, serves to honor the spirits, celebrate warriors, and maintain spiritual balance.

Whether you are looking for a percussion instrument to accompany a ceremonial song, an indigenous instrument for a circle dance, or a piece of Native American art for your enjoyment, each drum embodies a deep, culturally sacred connection that embodies the spirit of the First Nations.
