Description
When Charlie's Kookum asks him what the best part of his school day was, he knows right away: Indigenous drum circle!
Kookum tells him that not very long ago she was gifted her very first drum at a ceremony for children who never returned home from residential schools. But Charlie doesn't understand. How could she only have gotten her first drum so recently?
Kookum explains that she was taken from her family when she was very little because of something called the Sixties Scoop. She was raised by an adoptive white family and only later learned what being Cree meant. It's taken her a long time to feel like she belongs. Kookum's story gives Charlie the idea to teach her a song so they can play their drums together.
