Making a Hand Drum

I make a new mishoomis drum, using instructions from a video by the Wandering Bull LLC.

DISCLAIMER 1: I have made a drum before, but do not remember the instructions. The instructions I followed were by The Wandering Bull LLC. If you plan to follow the instructions in this video, keep these facts in mind and note mistakes were made in this video. If anything in this video was done “wrong,” or if you have better solutions, remember that people do things differently and that ANY AND ALL ADVICE IS WELCOME IN THE COMMENT SECTION for myself and future viewers to learn from. Chi miigwech!!

DISCLAIMER 2: I am aware that some tribes, and even communities in my own tribe (Ojibwe), do not allow women to carry the drum. However, bands in my region include women in hand drum carrying. This is among our practices, please respect them.

DISCLAIMER FOR NON-NATIVES: My non-Native audience is welcome to watch this video for entertainment. However, the instructions in this video are meant solely for Indigenous peoples to recreate. Hand drums are deeply spiritual and hold significant meaning to Indigenous people who use them. Do not recreate a hand drum if you are non-Native, even if done so “respectfully”, and especially if done so for a costume.
