In honor of Dave Golden Eagle, an elder whose spirit was as profound as the rustling leaves along our sacred Cedar River. Dave, your hands crafted not just pipes and drums, but also the very heartbeat of our community. Each piece you made resonated with the deep traditions and love you held for our people and our land. You enriched our lives with your beautiful work and your gentle presence. The wisdom you shared, the stories you told, and the artistry you poured into every creation will forever echo through our Indigenous community. We cherish every memory, every lesson, and every beat of the drums you brought to life. Dave, you are loved beyond measure and you are deeply missed. This page is dedicated to you, a testament to your legacy and the indelible mark you've left on our hearts. Rest in peace, dear elder. Your spirit soars with the eagle
