The call of the singers, the beat of the drum helped designer Trey Blackhawk understand his history and ancestors. The drum's materials were once living: a buffalo or moose hide and a cedar tree were sacrificed to bring people together to heal, dance, and sing. The drum and sticks are framed by traditional applique patterns, a tribute to the mothers who hold the world together. Bands of color represent seasons of life and all its milestones.

About the artist:
Designer Trey Blackhawk (Winnebago) is a graduate of Nebraska's Little Priest Tribal College. He is influenced by the artwork he's seen at powwows, drumming and singing, and by his family's beading, sewing and dancing traditions. In addition to design work, Trey is also a farmer. "My studies have given me a broad overview of many things, specifically to heal the land we reside on while growing food and caring for animals."
