In this episode, Hailey uncovers the sacred drum of the Ho-Chunk Nation, which unites and brings people together to rejoice and celebrate. But as the number of Native language speakers dwindles, the drum and its songs have become essential guardians of cultural memory and identity. Each beat carries not just music, but the promise that Ho-Chunk culture will endure and thrive for today and for the children yet to come.
