While I have a reader who lives on the Colville Reservation, she is not familiar with the Seven Drums Religion. I gathered the information I could from websites and the book, A Little Bit of Wisdom: Conversations with a Nez Perce Elder by Horace Axtell and Margo Aragon. I used creative license in the dancing scenes using bits and pieces of information I’d gathered from other books on Native American dance but followed the information in the Axtell book as much as possible for the Sunday Service.
