Mary Lou Smoke - The Water Song

Mary-Lou Smoke and her partner Dan Smoke have taught thousands the Water Song.
"I often teach people The Water Song. Last year, we were on our way to Toronto on World Water Day and a teacher contacted us with something she wanted us to hear. We pulled up our computer on the train, and 350 elementary students had all gathered to sing The Water Song. It was awesome. I know my work is kind of behind the scenes and low-key, but it’s getting results.”

My elders taught me that women are not supposed to hit the drum. This is because the drum represents Mother Earth. The beating of it, is the heartbeat of earth. Like a child hears in the womb. Women have their own womb and are mothers. That’s why they don’t hit the drum.

[@EarthKeeperSelinaMu]

It is taught in our Wabanaki Indigenous Ways that it is WOMAN that brought the Original Drum to the People and gave it to the men. We are reclaiming it now so that All Beings May Benefit. I believe we always held onto the Medicine Drum for our Ceremonies and taking care of our Spirit.

@@EarthKeeperSelinaMu Tapwiy. They have their own pipe also. That’s in a women’s sweat. Each tribe or elder has his or her own way. In Nihiyaw culture, we don’t have women hit the drum. That’s why they sing from behind the men. I don’t know about other tribes. I meant us Nihiyaw people

[@Brancaalice]

Interesting approach. Drum also follow heartbeat of body.
