The drum is an instrument common to many land-based peoples. Sometimes it is referred to as the Heartbeat of the Earth. During times of happiness the drum beats faster, and during times of sadness it beats slowly. The front cover depicts a crying clearcut hillside, and the sorrow felt by all First Nations people about the present state of the Earth. Drums are beating slowly everywhere...
