Do you know what a powwow is? | Articles | CBC KidsA powwow is a celebration where Indigenous people dance, eat, sing and can buy or sell crafts. It's also a place for participants to show pride and respect for their culture.

Do you know what beading is? | Articles | CBC KidsBeading has a very long artistic and cultural history among the Indigenous people in Canada. At least 8,000 years before Europeans came to Canada, First Nations people were using beads in elaborate designs and for trade.

Hoop Dancing

Arts and CultureAs a mixed-heritage, two-spirit human being, I bridge worlds in many ways. I’ve been called a mediator, peacekeeper and playful entertainer. As an artist, one of my intentions is to express my truth while exploring the complexities of identity. I do this through music, visual art and storytelling, as Indigenous people have always done. In my experience, art is one of the best ways to create understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Like many Indigenous artists, I blend together the traditional and contemporary in my creative work. I form the contrast and the connection. Born in Fort Smith,

Arts et cultureEn tant qu’ être bispirituel à l’ héritage mixte, j’ oscille bien souvent entre deux mondes. On a dit de moi que j’ étais une médiatrice, une gardienne de la paix et une artiste enjouée. Par mon art, je cherche à exprimer ma réalité tout en explorant l’ identité dans toute sa complexité, et mes véhicules sont ceux des Autochtones depuis toujours : la musique, les arts visuels et le récit. L’ expérience m’ a appris que l’ art est l’ un des meilleurs instruments pour combler le fossé entre les peuples autochtones et non autochtones. Dans mes œuvres, comme dans celles de nombreux artistes autochtones,

CommunityI saw and heard the big drum for the first time when I was five years old. I loved it. It was 1988, and I had just entered kindergarten. My school back then was called St. Anne’s Elementary in Flat Bay, N.L. That school is gone now, with too few students in the community to sustain it. Flat Bay gets its name from a body of water sheltered by a strip of land known as Sandy Point. This sheltered harbour provided refuge from storms in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. As the Mi’kmaq people who would eventually become residents of the community of Flat Bay began their seasonal migrations into the interior,

CommunautéJ’ avais cinq ans la première fois que j’ ai vu et entendu le grand tambour. J’ ai adoré. C’ était en 1998, je venais de commencer la maternelle à l’ ancienne école primaire St. Anne’ s, située à Flat Bay, à Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador. Cette école n’ existe plus aujourd’ hui, car il n’ y avait pas assez d’ élèves dans le secteur. Le village de Flat Bay a été nommé d’ après la baie adjacente, qui est protégée par une langue de terre appelée la pointe Sandy. Ce havre était ainsi à l’ abri des tempêtes du golfe du Saint-Laurent.
