Beluga whales are known as "canaries of the sea" because of their musical voices and talkative nature. Legend has it that sailors believed the songs of belugas were the voices of drowned men speaking from beneath the waves.
Have a Great Week-End!

I received this special drum order from a family in the USA. They wanted four different spirit animals and the eight-pointed star on each drum. These siblings gathered together from all over the USA for a special family reunion.

Todays drum is from my “Round Dance” Series.
The Round Dance Drum is more important now than ever. The dancers join hands to form a large circle, symbolically indicating the equality of all people in the world.

Today’s drum once again features “ The Eel”.
A particular favourite in the mi’kmaw diet has always been eel. At a traditional feast, some Elders would bring eel stew or eel soup. It was a sign of both respect and status.

Today I am posting a drum from the Pipe series. It depicts a chief smoking his final pipe with spirit Moose watching over. This chief is painted in red ochre; this colour was used in burial ceremonies so that the creator could recognize someone who has passed.

It's hard to believe I was elected leader of the @NSNDP three years ago today.

Every day, I feel so honoured to do this work: to stand up and speak out for what Nova Scotians need — and deserve.

Thank you to everyone who's supported me on this journey. Let's keep going 💪🧡
