Indigenous Drumming for Better Mental Health

We began the event with a lovely Intuitive Meditation demonstration and group participation.
Nathan Roy, Indigenous drummer and singer, gave an diverse and information presentation on Indigenous culture, specifically the Anishinaabe people.
Nathan shared some of important medicines: tobacco, sweet grass, sage and cedar.
He did a beautiful opening song with drumming. He talked about Pow wow and the 6 types of dance categories. He shared a jingle dance video and explained the dress.

The event concluded with 2 group dances where the all participants enjoyed the beautiful songs and rhythms.
