The Spirit of Creation – Echoes of Heritage
This ceremonial drum was born from a profound calling.
In the Innu tradition, drum making is not simply a craft, but a spiritual responsibility passed down within certain families. This calling, received and honored, guides every step of its creation.
Échos d'héritage is a living work. Its hand-stretched Quebec deer hide carries the memory of the land. Its natural wood frame, respectfully harvested, supports the vibration and grounding of the sound. Each beat resonates like a dialogue between the heart, the Earth, and the spirit.
This drum is not a decorative object. It is a companion on the journey, designed to accompany those who feel the need to reconnect, slow down, and listen.

My signature as an artist – my creative process
Each drum (teueikan) I create is handcrafted using a profound, slow, and respectful artistic process. It's my signature. It's what makes my drums recognizable, consistent, and meaningful.
To make a drum, it's important to come from a lineage of drummers. I come from a family of drummers on the Thisselmagan side, according to my ancestors. This heritage is an integral part of my relationship with the drum and my way of creating it.
I have been making drums for several years. I take my time with each one, because the drum is one of the works that resonates most deeply with my Pekuakamiulnuatsh roots.
For me, making a teueikan is a true act of connecting with my ancestors. Each drum is crafted with respect, attentiveness, and presence.
I take the time to precisely stretch each skin so that, once dry, the drum can offer a vibrant, balanced, and lasting sound. This step is essential in the creation of the sound.
Each drum is hand-assembled to achieve the right tension, capable of accompanying singing, meditation, ceremonies, and personal practices.
A mallet (stick) is also made for each drum. Its creation is inspired by elements of the territory: fur, 100% genuine moose leather and natural materials, in the same spirit as all my works.
Each drum resonates with Mother Earth, and it is this relationship that often guides the final design, colors, and decorative elements.
No drum is ever exactly alike. Each piece is unique.
