B ack when Foster Kalama
taught him self to play the
flute, he had very little idea
about how m uch it w ould
eventually mean in the heal
ing journey o f so many..
“Me and Larson Kalama
started attending a circle up
in Washington,” Foster said.
“Back then, Larson needed
som e healing, being a yet.
T hat was 25 years ago. I got
involved. H e knew th at I
could play the d ru m ... but he
d id n ’t know th a t I tau g h t
myself to play the flute when
I was younger.”
Twenty-seven years ago,
Foster decided to change his
life direction towards a more
positive course.
“Everything became alco
hol and drug free,” he says.
“We now try to stay away
from negativity, which makes
H eH e the p e rfe c t setting.
T here are veterans w ho at
tend our healing circle and
they need peace. Some o f
them were broken inside, but
each year they get a lithe bit
better.”
A t th e G a th e rin g o f
Flutes, held last weekend at
H eH e, participants focus on
the spiritual aspects o f life.
“Last year we had 38 flute
p lay ers,” K alam a said.
