This poem is not here to create more space between women and men. It is so we as women remember the old ways of strength and courage.
That we begin to look inside and see the beauty and strength within. And through the healing of ourselves, then we can come and share
from our hearts with our dear brothers.

The Woman's Drum

So long, the Woman's Drum
        has been quiet
While women look to men
        For the Teaching
Now, the realization comes
        to look to women
for the Sacred Teachings
        of the Creation.

Women, search out
the Sacred Teachings
of our grandmothers.
Tale up the Drum,
Sing the Women's Songs.
Of the Healing Ones.

So long, the Women's Drum
        has been alone
Kept in the back of minds
        Silent in spirit.
Now comes the time
to pick up the Drum
To sing the Healing Songs
of the Women's Way.

Women. Sing out
the healing Songs
of the Women's Teachings
Take up the Drum
Sing the honour Songs
of the Traditional Ones

Too long the Women's Drum
Has been silent.
 
Mary Morin, June 1986
