At one of our community events, a group of young people were entertaining the Elders and community members with some traditional drumming and singing.  After they had completed their songs, one young man stepped forward and asked if he could share something with everyone.  He proceeded to say when he was playing his drum, the lights inside the building reflected several shadows of his beater on the drum.  The young man felt it was the Ancestors helping him and giving him the strength to play and sing these ancient songs.  We have to understand that in our culture education comes in many forms.

Sincerely,

Chief Meuse
