- **Event Name**: Coast Salish Drum Making with Donna Manson - Snuneymuxw
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Enjoy a drum making session with Snuneymuxw First Nation member, Donna Manson.

Learn teachings about the making and using of the drum per the teachings she has learned and shares.
After the drums are finished we will have a short time of sharing with tea, salmon, crackers, and fruit.

The drum offers the heartbeat that connects us through celebrations, ceremonies, prayers and daily life within the First Nations communities of Canada. 'Connection is the correction.'

Crimson Coast Dance is honoured to support the hosting of this event on behalf of Donna Manson.

Bring your good spirit and learn more about the beauty of Coast Salish traditions, practices and protocol.

**Note, these drums are made  by Donna's son Isaac with the wood of the land and skins harvested locally by First Nation members. Donna works to ensure the materials are quality for this purpose. Each has a unique voice. We hope you will enjoy the voice of your drum. We are unable to guarantee its sound, tone or timber, or to take responsibility otherwise.

***Image: "I was so excited that I was able to attend the drum making class in Nanaimo [several weeks ago]. It has been such an amazing journey since then. I was able to connect with First Nation artist Fred Anderson Jr who painted the drum for me, and today, I am meeting with a close friend, Sky Bellefleur to gift the drum to her. She has been an amazing part of my own reconciliation journey, and I want to recognize that. I have attached a picture of the drum as was completed by Mr. Anderson." ~Galen Brewer, Victoria, BC
