Using Ceremonial Drums For Unique Mountain Interior Design
Because I love southwest decorating, I recently added ceremonial drums as part of the rustic, southwest decor in my new home. I was so impressed with the beautiful, southwestern feel that the Native American drums brought to my home, that I started learning about the history and the influential role they play in Indigenous cultures. If you are like me, you have probably seen how meaningful ceremonial drums are to the Native culture but do not know their importance in tribal ceremonies or how exactly they are used. Each tribe is unique in how they use ceremonial drums but one similarity between each tribe is that the Native drums are very symbolic and part of the main focus of the ceremony. Throughout my studies, I have come to find that learning about these drums truly grants you a great appreciation of the American Indian culture and their customs.
As you begin studying about ceremonial drums, you will find it very interesting that the Indigenous people think of the ceremonial drum to be sacred. They are usually used in powwows, Shamanic ceremonies and honor ceremonies to come in contact with the Spirits and to connect with their creator. It is believed that each drum contains a spirit and that the drum beat signifies the heart beat of Mother Nature. Since the drum is thought to connect the people with the spirit world and lead the a healer in helping his people, you will see that they are commonly used by the healers or Shaman to enter the mind state, known as the Shamanic journey, needed to communicate with the Spirits.
Also, as you study the importance of ceremonial drums in modern culture, you will find that Native Indian drums have a significant role in the preservation of native tribes
