The Grandfather Drum

When Naamowin’s grandson falls sick, he is gifted a healing drum in a dream which restores his grandson’s life and continues to be used for healing by the Anishinabek people of the upper Berens River. However colonial and Christian rule shatter the balance of their world, dispossessing children from the village and forbidding traditional practices. Years later, Naamowin’s grandson dreams of how to bring the beat of his grandfather’s drum back home.
