| | Hand Drum Exhibition |
 | | While these singers often sing hand drum songs during pow wows, giveaways, moccasin games, and other social gatherings held throughout the year, the most culturally important purpose of the hand drum is for private ceremonials held on select days guided by the seasons. |
 | | Today, the upcoming hand drum program hosted by Anishinabe Bimadiz is but one of the cultural education initiatives developed by the tribe to nurture preservation, understanding and appreciation of Anishinabe lifeways. |
 | | Most importantly, the hand drum exhibition will offer a chance for young people to hear and learn the traditional songs, thereby honoring their tribal history, which is not always communicated in words. |
