Drum

This drum was made by Wayne Dupuis, Sr. He and his son Wayne Jr. and Ed Jaakola, Jr. hunted the moose together. It is made with the rawhide of the moose and a hollow pine log.

"We selected this drum because it is very creative spiritual. They hollowed a section of a tree trunk and bended it into a drum shape.  Then they got the moose hide and stretched the skin over it and removed the fur. 

The height is 12½ inches and the width is 22½ inches. The object is 12 years old!! The tribe it is from is the Ojibwa. The item was used to drum, usually at pow-wows."
