Join us for an opportunity to make your own drum or rattle and learn teachings of the Indigenous drum and rattle.

As part of the implementation plan for the Akak’stiman Indigenous Strategy, one of United Way’s key organizational commitments is to identify and co-create learning activities to build the internal capacity of United Way staff and external capacity with our partners.

Participants will have an opportunity to make their own drum or rattle using authentic hide material. The teacher will share the step-by-step process as well as teaching about the drum/rattle.

The capacity for this event is capped at 15 PEOPLE ONLY.

Please arrive a few minutes before the start time, to get settled so the instructor can get started on time.

In the spirit of our journey to promote reconciliation, we would like to honour the truth of our shared history and acknowledge Treaty 7 territory and the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy, that includes the Kainai, Siksika, and Piikani First Nations. We acknowledge the traditional lands of the Tsuut'ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations. We would also like to recognize the Métis people, and the Inuit people who have made their home here in Moh'kins'tsis, also known as Calgary.
