About Grey Wolf ~ Cliff Latta
I became Grey Wolf through dreams … At 60 I started making drums
By family tradition, I am part Cherokee and I can feel it in the way I relate to the drums I make
I am 75 years old and I have made more than 6,000 drums with a variety of tribes, the Boy Scouts, a camp for blind children and a variety of organizations.
As Grey Wolf was chosen for me through dreams so was the octagon shape for my drums.
I try to move with the flow while making only good ripples while a guest in this life.
I am not social. I don’t belong to any clubs or groups
I make elk rawhide, high-quality drums and drum-making kits for very reasonable prices.
The more drums, the more people drumming, the better the world.
I find my direction in the world created for me by the great spirit. If I live another ten or fifteen years and continue to make drums, my drum-making legacy will be substantial
My epitaph might read …
“If I planted a tree in the morning, made a drum in the afternoon and
died in the evening, it would be a good day.”
Namaste … In the Spirit,
Cliff – Grey Wolf
