Tribal Kits

During this time when we are all spending way more time at home that we would want to, we keep creating crafting kits to help bring us together.  In fact many of Native schools and organizations have started doing zoom-led workshops with our kits.

We are very particular with the standards of our product and the same goes with our kits….we double check that instructions make sense, that everything that is required is included and that the quality of the kits meets our standards…..if we couldn’t make an amazing rattle out of our kits why would we send one to you?

  • Rawhide Scraps – Deer & Moose

    13$ US – 21$ US

    You know that expression “one man’s garbage is another’s gold mine”….well this week we are offering our scraps at a discount!!   We are doing a little summer cleaning and realize that we have tons of buffalo, moose and deer rawhide scraps that we have been hoarding.  “Let it go Rob…”  These scraps are perfect for rattles, earrings, little mini drums etc.  Perfect for small crafting projects.  But to be clear they are NOT suitable for drums of any size.  IF they were big enough I would have turned them into drums.  SO we are selecting through the hides and picking out pieces that are appropriate for softball sizes rattles.  Each bundle will contain a dozen or so pieces of rawhide.

  • Hand Drum Hoops

    25$ US – 46$ US

    Our drums are VERY unusual in that we make our own hoops.  These days most (virtually ALL) drum makers are using plywood maple frames made overseas or mitred multi pieced wood frames that are 8 to 12 sided.

    We order white ash lumber in large dimension, and then cut it into lats of different sizes (for different hoops) and steam and bend by hand.  We glue the connection with a water proof glue and then sand/router all edges. Our hoops are 98% round.  Ash is a very strong wood so our hoops will not move or bend over time no matter what kind of hide is pulled over them.

    Available in fringed style or moose antler button.

  • “DIY” Medicine Bags Kits

    72$ US
    One of the handiest things around the fire or gathering is a nice smudge kit or medicine bag.  Recently we have had several people ask if they could make it themselves….and who are we to say no!!  Our 8″ Smudge Bag Kit consists of a front and back piece of moose leather, a moose leather strap, Sinew, glovers needles AND very careful clear instructions on how to assemble your bag.  The kit also include a fan (that we make for you) and farmed abalone shell and a linen bag of Californian Buffalo/White Sage.
    Attention USA customers: we are not permitted to ship feathers into the United States.  Our thought is to add more white sage and a piece of leather to your Medicine Bag Kit to compensate for the missing fan.  AND perhaps this is an opportunity to make your own fan. We use a small branch, drill holes and glue feathers into the branch.  Then you can wrap the wood with leather we have included.

  • Ceremony Tool Bag “DIY”

    68$ US

    We have a wide range of colour options but inventory is always changing.  When checking out please tell us your top 3 colour preferences in the “order notes”.  Straps are always black or dark brown.  (Drumsticks not included… lol )
