Carleton University and The Sumner Group Inc., along with our project partners wish to acknowledge the support of the Canadian Cultural Online Program (CCOP) of the Department of Canadian Heritage. Apart from the creation of this educational web project, CCOP funding also provided hands-on, practical experience for Indigenous students in their field of study through research positions and internship programs.
Native Drums was a collaboration of 12 institutional partners, which included over 60 people, from across Canada.
