MCW 2007- Aboriginal Students Association at York

Indigenous people follow the culture of the sacredness of their geographic surrounds and being. Only making 3.3% of Canada's population now, Aborigines are the first people to reside the great land of Canada. They entered North America by at least 12,000 years ago and diversified into hundreds of culturally distinct nations and tribes. The aboriginal culture, overall, is very rich and unique. Traditional Native American music is often pentatonic, and often includes drumming. Historically, the music has been inseparable from religious festivities and included a large variety of percussion and wind instruments such as drums, flutes, sea snail shells (used as a kind of trumpet) and "rain" tubes. Art of the indigenous peoples of the Americas comprises a major category in the world art collection. Contributions include pottery, paintings, jewelry, weavings, sculptures, basketry, and carvings.

This is one of the most amazing things i'v seen. I go to mcmaster, and my first year courses have sparked a flame of appreciation, intrigue,and respect for the indegenous people of Canada, and their identity. The flame is growing into a fire, and I hope to perhaps attend one of these festivals, as I will be searching for any similar clubs and events happening at mcmaster. Thanks for the post, it was really profound and important.
