I went and spoke with an #elder from my community the other day. He told me stories of how my tribe got our drums for ceremony. He also told me about the month long journeys they would go on to get to each ceremony. About taking the trails through the #Minnesota wilderness. About getting chased by folks in Model Ts. All to get to these ceremonies we still do to this day.
