Small circle drum. Tag included with the drum:
"In the culture of the American Indian, the drum takes on a meaning that is more spiritual than musical. Though used to keep time during dances, it has a greater symbolism. 'The drum is the heartbeat of the people. It links the people to Earth. No traditional Indian gathering would take place without a drum. It has always been that way. It goes further back than the history books.' As long as the drums continue to beat, the Indian way of life will survive."
