Ojibwe Drum Songs

The documentary is narrated by Jim Williams Sr., an elder of the Lac Vieux Desert Ojibwe band in Watersmeet, Michigan. He heard elders sing at feasts, pow wows and ceremonies while growing up and went on to start a traditional drum group called the Lac Vieux Desert Singers. The film features both the LVD drum and the Four Thunders drum, which is the merger of singers from the LVD drum, the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community and Sault Ste. Marie bands, and singers from Marquette.

This film was released in 2008 and is 50 minutes long.
