Pow Wow Kahnawake

Native people dancing, singing, drum beating at the 2007 Pow Wow in Kahnawake, Canada. The Pow Wow is a celebration of the native culture and of the Mohawk Nation. The Mohawks are one of the many native people of Canada and the United States. The Pow Wow is about music, dance, crafts, food, friendship and spirituality. The music is very pacifying, perfect for a spiritual experience. A video by Étienne Gagnon.

Hello Monsieug, great video, especially for anyone who has an interest in pow wows but has never had a chance to go. It would be perfect for the Canada’s Got Treasures collection, which aims to feature Canadian videos of personal or cultural significance. Help celebrate Canadian diversity by joining our group (/group/TresorTreasure) and submitting your video. It would be made available on our channel and website.

Hamish,

Canada's Got Treasures, a VMC initiative

@KanjaFubuki just ask any of the women in your family what they are. all the women in your family should be the same clan, since children always belong to the same clan as the mother.

i am native my culture is algonquiin (algonkin) and its just sad to see how the world is turing in so many ways cause my great grandfather never saw anything eletical in his life he was native and when they started making all this stuff he literly cried and he swore on his life he will life his life like he did before any of this was made and now seeing whats changing i too think that its the people that will make the world end cause us natives live without elctricty and we can live with out it.
