Buffalo

Michelle Tweed is an Indigenous drum maker from Rockfield, Nova Scotia. In this journey, we join her as she crafts a beautiful drum using buffalo hide sourced from Verhagan Bison Farms. Collaborating with students from the Pictou County Forestry School, Michelle highlights the importance of community learning while paying tribute to Mother Nature and the spirit of the land. This experience brings everyone together to celebrate the return of the buffalo, culminating in a heartfelt event where the handmade bison drums are presented as gifts to the Verhagan family in deep appreciation.
