Raven Drum2004-2/141

Spirit of the Ancestors-Small round skin drums were used during the 19th century primarily on the southern coast by Coast Salish religious dancers. On the northern coast they were used primarily by shamans in their curing work. Perhaps through their use to accompany the singing at gambling games (lehal), the use of round skin drums has spread during the 20th century to become the most frequently used drum at potlatches and other social occasions.
