The World Drum Comes to Eureka : As part of a worldwide effort to bring people of many cultures together in awareness of the need to respect and preserve our planet, Morten Storeide brought the World Drum, the symbol of this service, to Eureka Springs from his home in Norway.  This whole project involving the international journey of the drum began last year followingr the vision of Norwegian shaman, Whitecougar. 

The drum has been taken to Norway, Sweden,  New Zealand, Hawaii and nineteen different locations in the USA including, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, so far. The drum itself was created by Birger Mikkelsen, a Scandinavian shaman, who mixed his own blood with the painted design.  John Two-Hawks, a Lakota Indian living in Eureka, hosted Morten during his visit and participated in the ceremony.  

The World Drum then returned to Norway to be part of a large Peace Concert there on 18 November.  After this The Drum will continue its travel through Scandinavia, Europe, Canada, Alaska, Mongolia, Japan, Indonesia, Philipines, Australia. Its journey will just keep on as new paticipants and new countries are added.  More infromation on the World Drum Project and the travelroute can be found at  http://theworlddrum.com/.

"As The World Drum travels, the sound of it will get stronger each day. It is the sound of heartbeat and life itself"  M. Storeide
