The Phoenix workshop brings Native American veterans and their families together for three evenings of instrument-making. Registration is closed, but a waitlist is available.

All times are local to the venue · America/Phoenix
A flute, a rattle and a drum are the projects for the Heard Museum’s Veterans & Family Traditional Instrument Workshop. Across three Tuesday evenings in November, participants will learn traditional instrument-making techniques alongside other Native American veterans and their families.
The series is organized around making rather than a performance: participants are invited to create their own instruments over three hands-on sessions. Aaron White leads the flute workshop, Aarick Mack the rattle workshop and Moontee Sinquah the drum workshop.
The museum frames the gathering as a chance to learn and connect with fellow Native veterans and their families. It has not specified the materials, tools or prior experience needed, so prospective participants with questions can contact the museum before making plans.
