Santee and our choreographic intern from New Zealand, Louise Potiki Bryant of Atamira dance collective will be in attendance to connect with dancers from all across North America. I highly encourage you to attend the festival which usually attracts over 40,000 visitors.
The Pow Wow attracts over 1,000 dancers from every corner of North America. It starts with a Grand Entry when all dancers dance into the dance circle in full regalia to the beat of the drums. The motion, colour and sound of the Grand Entry is spectacular and for many visitors, emotional. In addition to the dancers, veterans, both
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, Elders, Aboriginal members of the armed forces and various police organizations and others also participate in the Grand Entries.
Grand Entries are scheduled for Saturday November 28th, 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. and on Sunday November 29th at 12:00 noon. The Main Stage performances start an hour before the Grand Entry. For more information visit www.canab.com
