WLFN Brings Drum Circle To Horse Lake Elementary

Horse Lake Elementary staff and students were thrilled to host Danikka Murphy and William Lulua of WLFN as they brought their Drum Circle to our school. They described the cultural significance of the drum as a 'heartbeat' and showed the students how they were constructed and maintained. William and Danikka then taught the students a Welcome Song and handed out drums to perform together with our students. Mrs. Pugh's grade 7 class were invited to accompany the performance using drums they had made from hides that were tanned by last year's graduating class. Having 200 students perform as one was a powerful moment for our school!
