 | | REGINA -- The steady thump, thump, thump of a large drum echoed in the gym of Regina's St. Augustine school June 22 in a ceremony that transferred the drum's ownership to the school. |
 | | That began a series of discussions, research and long talks with elders who told the story of the ceremonial drum, a story that, according to Native spirituality, cannot be written down. |
 | | A drum usually belongs to one person, not a group, Pratcher said, but because school populations are transient a special system was established. |
