I do want to apologize for the long story. I would also like to thank Christianne Hall, Sarah, Eliseus, Leah and Alison
Words cannot express the gratitude I feel with the Hall family for what they presented me and my family.
On Saturday May 23rd, 2026 the Hall Family presented me and my family a Custom Drum made out of Moose hide along with a drum hanger, Drum bag and a smudging kit
.
When I spoke to Christianne about her family making a drum for my family I had no vision at that time I know a couple things but not much. I also owe Christianne an apology as I never confirmed with her about making the drum as I got busy with work and life at that time.
Fast forward 6-8 months Christianne came down to the local and was speaking with Marrion and called me into Marrion’s office and explained to me that her family had something that her family wanted to present to my family it was the Drum that we discussed a while back. So, after a couple of discussions we decided to have the presentation on Saturday May 23rd, 2026, after my general meeting, I spoke with Roxanne and Ashley to make sure they were available and explained what I thought was going to take place.
Well, it turns out what I thought was going to happen didn’t it was more than I expected all in a good way, I thought that they would have spoken about the drum and that was it nope turned into a great smudging ceremony and we were presented with:

What topped it off for me was here was an awesome family who didn’t know Chris personally only through some stories making and presenting my family with these great things, I also would like to say Thank you to Eliseus for her speech that she wrote.
I have worked with the Hall family on a couple jobs and even in the office, Christianne is a single mother of 7 children 3 boys and 4 girls and her and her children all have a heart of gold, and they all have a special place in my heart.
I can’t thank them enough, but I can show it off all the time.
The Drum and hanger will be at the Tournament this year and I can say you will also hear the sound that weekend.
The Moose on the Drum was painted by Sarah, also on the drum has the Scorpio stars
The Moose Hanger and speech was from Elieus
The Moose Bag was Christianne
The Smudging box was from the whole family with some homemade herbs and Sage
Love,
Rob
