Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with the MSU Museum and the MSU Native American Institute. Join us for an evening honoring the power of drumming, storytelling, and community. Daniel Jackson, a proud member of the Bear Clan and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe (SCIT), will share the deep cultural and spiritual significance of Native American drums—exploring how rhythm connects people to tradition, ceremony, and identity.
