Description
One Drum draws from the foundational teachings of Ojibway tradition, the Grandfather Teachings. Focusing specifically on the lessons of humility, respect and courage, the volume invites readers to unite in ceremony to heal themselves and bring harmony to their lives and communities. After experiencing neglect, abuse and loss of identity, Wagamese recalled the feeling of hope the gained from connecting with the spiritual ways of his people. He expressed the belief that ceremony has the power to unify and to heal for people of all backgrounds. When ceremonies are shared, he wrote, “we truly become one song and one drum beating together in a common purpose – we are healed.”
