For Felica Ahasteen-Bryant, the skipper of the Native American Educational and Cultural Center, her goal is to educate the campus community and lend them opportunity to learn about the diversity of tribal nations here in the U.S.

“The drum fraternity is a good interactive program to engage the campus community and a starting plan to learn about Native cultures,” she said.

With a couple of professionals at his side, Showa called students up from the audience, put a drum in their hands and told them to call attention to along. The resulting music was a representation of the spiritual unity that many Native Americans have a funny feeling connect all things.
