I love Drummer Boy's simplicity and innocence.
His nose is held high as he sings.
Bong, bong, bong!
He strikes his drum with enthusiasm.
.
Drum dancers play an important role in Inuit culture.
Through song and dance, they teach history to the next generations.
Drummer Boy is a one of a kind carving.
Have you ever seen a bear who is a drum dancer?!
And Louie has dressed Drummer Boy in a warm embroidered jumper, a pair of pants and sturdy boots.
Another unique feature of this sculpture.
This proud bear is absorbed in his craft.
He knows he is loved and respected.
Drummer Boy is a rare and enchanting piece.
Always the unexpected from the Gjoa Haven carvers!
