<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Initially published in 1982 in the Smithsonian Folklife Series, Thomas Vennum's <b>The Ojibwa Dance Drum</b> is widely recognized as a significant ethnography of woodland Indians.--From the afterword by Rick St. Germaine<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Hiding in a lake under lily pads after fleeing U.S. soldiers, a Dakota woman was given a vision over the course of four days instructing her to build a large drum and teaching her the songs that would bring peace and end the killing of her people. From the Dakota, the "big drum" spread throughout the algonquian-speaking tribes to the Ojibwe, becoming the centerpiece of their religious ceremonies.<br /><br />This edition of The Ojibwa Dance Drum, originally created through the collaboration of Ojibwe drum maker and singer William Bineshi Baker Sr. and folklorist Thomas Vennum, has a new introduction by history professor Rick St. Germaine that discusses the research behind this book and updates readers on the recent history of the Ojibwe Drum Dance.
