8,000 drums March 21
Got this information from a sweatlodge friend. They've been doing this every year since 2004, and will continue until 2012:

Just passing this one along... Peace:
8,000 DRUMS on March 21 at noon / central time.
Hi. I was contacted by my friend Gilles Novaks who is a Montagnais Indian from Montreal. He is a Medicine Man and a Healer. He asked me to get as many Tribal people to participate in a worldwide ceremony called
the "8,000 Drums". He was contacted by two Huron Clan Grandmothers from Canada and they asked him to help spread the word to all Indians everywhere. It will take place on March 21, 2008 at 12:00 noon MEXICO TIME!! /central time.
All you need to do is play a drum either alone, or with a group or have the whole Tribe participate. The purpose is to fulfill the OTOMI PROPHECY. The Otomi's are Mayan Olmec and Toltec descendants. The
drums will be played so that the Creator will hear us and grant our wishes as we pray for help in the Healing Process of our Mother Earth. ...

eople are destroying Her and our Mother Earth needs our prayers. Thank you.
Ewo-wox-co-dah-wa.

The International Indigenous University
presents
The Ceremony of 8,000 Sacred Drums
March 21
Otomi Ceremonial Center
Temoaya, Mexico
According to a Sacred Prophecy revealed at the Otomi Ceremonial Center by the Otomi Elder Sages as a Vision of our Venerable Ancestors, the day when the sounds of 8,000 Sacred Drums join together will be the beginning of the healing of Mother Earth, of all the species and the human family in order to be able to live together on the road to Sacred Peace.
It is time to unify ourselves and rediscover all the seeds of the Four
Directions in order to reactivate cosmic energy, heal historical wounds and heal Mother Earth by respecting life, liberty and the dignity of our Peoples. The first great ceremony was held March 21, 2004 in Temoaya, Mexico and there will be drum circles joined around the world on the Spring Equinox continuing every year until 2012.
Sacred Principles:
· Sealing and healing the wounded vertices of Mother Earth is urgent.
· Identifying and activating the Indigenous energy centers at sacred places is our duty.
· Planting and strengthening consciousness of love and respect for our Mother Earth is everyone's work.
· The Indigenous ancestral recommendation to create and practice the Grand Culture of Peace and Life is fundamental.
· Recognition of the use of the energy and healing properties of our sacred instruments is a principle goal of our Indigenous Mission.

3. I don't see why not
I'm not Native American either, but I honor their tradition. The chap who sent this to me follows the Red Road, even though he is not Native.

6. I would think whatever makes you feel good

whatever moves you, or makes you want to move.
just my two cents.

I'm partial to 3/4, 5/4, and 6/8 beats myself.

7. a 4/4 tempo is for the earth,
at least in the Native traditions I'm familiar with. Also a 4/4 beat is used when we do the Earth Walk, one of the practices of my Sufi Order.

8. Hmmm!
I normally play West African or Hindu beats.
Would Fanga be an appropriate drum song for this?

I might even get daring (or foolhardy) enough to post the links in GD. LOL
