Tsimshian Shaman Healing with Drum

This is a picture of a Tsimshian shaman healing session. The shaman is at the left wearing a bearskin cloak and a bear claw crown. An assistant is drumming. Note that this drum is very warped.

The drummer's left hand is behind the drum, which indicates this is a single-headed drum, the kind I make.

This drum appears to be very large, and the drum beater appears to be a plain stick without any adornment.
