First Voices 09 Samantha

Samantha Lewis is a Mi'kmaw woman who grew up 'on the rez" as part of Lennox Island First Nation on Prince Edward Island. She has been dancing in the tradition of "woman's fancy shawl" for nine years and "Hoop Dancing" for almost two years. Her dancing has given her the opportunity to travel throughout Mi'kmaw Territory, as well as other parts of Canada and internationally. She has held the important role of Head Female Dancer at many Mi'kmaq community powwows. Dancing fills a large part of her heart and life, as does her family.
