11.5" painted elk hide drum on cedar frame — handcrafted by David Fierro. An abstract paint pour with phosphorescent elements that glow under black light, bringing forward layers of colour and movement not immediately visible. The surface invites interpretation, with forms that emerge and shift over time. Designed as both a playable instrument and a visual piece. Comes with a matching tom tom.

We acknowledge that we live, work, and play on the stolen, ancestral and traditional territories of the Straits Salish peoples on the Island called S,ḴŦAḴ in SENĆOŦEN, the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.

The name "Tsi Tesakotitsén:tha” was given to us by a Tuscarora Elder who has known Susheela since 1986 in Kahnawake (Kanien’kehá:ka Mohawk territory) and suggested we create the space for “The Place That Heals You”. The Kanien'kehá:ka spelling was provided to us by a dear friend who still lives in Kahnawake. We are honoured to use the name and would also welcome a SENĆOŦEN translation of the name to respect the land we’re on and the language of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples.
