Bone carving
richardzane:
yep you are right about that.
I've spent 3 weeks among Maori friends in Aotearoa (NZ) and we have a lot of common traditions.
They're proud of their heritage and don't take racist attitudes very well.
Maori connect very deeply with the west coast cedar carvers like the Tlingit,
and respect a person who can introduce themselves and sing in their own indigenous language.
they don't use drums there, so they really enjoyed hearing the waterdrum I brought that i sing with.
richardzane:
the bone i used was from a cow leg bone, but traditionally my ancestors used moose.
Primalartz:
That is awesome, I would loved to have been there for that. I have a great respect for native cultures that stand up against Cultural assimilation and preserve their heritage and language. Also I really enjoy hearing the waterdrum as well.
Scowler:
Beautiful work.
