Sacred Mountain Drums
Native American Pow Wow Drums

Inspired under the magnificent Grand Tetons in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Sacred Mountain Drums creates Native American style drums of beauty. We make rattles, frame drums (hand drums), barrel drums and pow-wow drums. These drums are not only ceremonial and fine musical instruments, but the are designed to be unique, fine furniture as well. The large pow-wow drums when placed in a living or working areas are a central focus point and a natural energy conduit. They seem to create an inviting area for heart centered conversation and song.

The main creator of these drums is Alan Willes. He is a song keeper/drum maker, collecting and holding ancient songs from indigenous peoples and newer personal songs of wonderful people around the world. He enjoys sharing these songs with others in drum circles and in Long Dances that are held on the equinox and solstices out on the earth. His drums and rattles are being used by music therapists, women drum circles, men drum circles and healing groups. Alan is not Native American himself if that matters. He does make the drums with an earth reverence and much dreamtime. Always as his teachers say, "in a good way". The songs, dance and drumming are a good way to bring a good life. Its the way all indigenous peoples that are connected to the earth find health, happiness and atunement.

Speaking of the racial thing: It takes all four colors to make a human being. And the medicine wheel will not be healed until all nations come together. We are all one, let's act like it.

Very nice of you to do this video, you seem to take it very lightly but you did well with the energy. Thank you!

wow a lot of negative energy in the comments this guy is doing something POSITIVE and embracing native culture how do you know its not in his roots? even then why would anyone stoop so low to demean someone putting out good its sad maybe you should all go sing a song and get in tune with mother earths heart beat. But before you touch you grand mother drum or grand father drum go smudge for peats sake!!!

The only thing is that not all nations are equal in terms of economics, political standing and socially.
