The Sacred Drums

At the end of each of my drum making classes here in Kentucky, I say a prayer for the drums. Here it is with video scenes added to suggest what I see while saying the prayer.

@OhSleeperAwake Thank you for watching the video, OSA. Your videos are most enjoyable, too! Do you make the flutes?

@KentuckyShaman

I dont know which some teachers you keep refering too???

Regardless. Sharing what they know will not stop misconceptions (let alone cultural & historic revisionists) from spreading false information. Thats where the issue of indigenious copyrights and cultural intellectual property protection comes in. Currently its still being worked out within the governement and between various governments.

@1NX9 Thanks for sharing your opinion, 1NX9. Out of respect for them, I will let the teachers speak for themselves if they wish to. I have found that some recognize a dilemma--either encourage open sharing of what is known, or hold it back and allow mis-perceptions to spread. It is obvious that some prefer the former, others the latter.

@KentuckyShaman

"(replying to Romanorum) I know too that you do not not speak for all Native Americans, as many NA teachers encourage their student to be public in order to service to all peoples.."

Which NA teachers? From reports from many anthropologists many NA are quite conservative. From my personal experience I find that its true also.

@KentuckyShaman I ran out of room in the previous post. Here's the rest:

I learned Native American ways, though, from dear teachers, and incorporated them into the Celtic traditions I had previously studied.

Thanks for your question!
