The Daily Drum
A special Remembrance Day post of the Daily Drum.
Along with the service of all Canadians, we remember many Mi'kmaw have served their country, including many who have made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of their brethren in foreign lands.
We also remember those that remained behind waiting, and those whose loved ones did not return.

We will remember them.

We had a surprise visit today from a very well known author and journalist, Tanya Talaga. She picked up one of our drums and left me a signed copy of her new book, “The Knowing”. Thanks for stopping in Tanya, and we hope to see you again!

Today’s drum is from my Family series.
Mi'kmaq family values are closely connected to the natural world. The Mi'kmaq believe that living a good, balanced life means respecting and protecting the environment and living in harmony with the people and creatures that live on the earth.
