Harris Burnette, a White Mountain Apache, began singing when he was seven-years-old. He was helping his father at a ceremony in Cibecue when he had a dream. The next day, during the ceremonies, he knew the songs and what they were about. He realized then that he was not just a “boy” anymore and he set aside all else to help his father with the ceremonies. He was been doing this ever since.
Although he was fairly young, he had a quiet presence and power about him. His voice was rich and healing and people were able to understand how important his role was in the community. Harris was of the Bear Clan, one of seven clans of the Apache. The drum he used was a metal pot filled with water and covered with stretched rubber. The drumstick is about fourteen inches long and has a small loop at the end.
