Powwow 2010
scheduled for
July 17th,
18th
Residents and visitors to the West Coast of Newfoundland! Prepare to be treated to the re-awaking of a Nation
during the Bay St. George Mi'kmaq Powwow. Which will be held in Flat Bay on the
17th and 18th of July.
First Nation's people in the area had the opportunity, during both Powwows,
to meet with traditional teachers and to take in sharing workshops on areas of
aboriginal life such as Medicine Wheel teachings, Sweat Lodges, Mi'kmaq Song and
Chants, and Storytelling. These initial
teachings will be the building blocks for the continued re-awakening of traditional ways
of life of the Mi'kmaq and an introduction for many people to the way of life of
their ancestors.
The Powwows will start with Grand Entry at 1:00pm on Saturday and will be a feast of sound, color, movement,
and tradition. Join with people from across the globe who have found their way
to this special event. Come to share in the renewal of family ties and
friendship, but most importantly, the Culture that was nearly lost.
Powwow 2010 will take place in Flat Bay for a Fourth year.
Flat Bay, is located on the West Coast of Newfoundland. Check out these links to
