While I think this is a good thing, if the Acaidiens are being represented so should the Anlgo’s.
ok??? You lost me on this one……How are the “Anglos” being represented at a Pow Wow?
There’s an Acadian day granted, but there is also an Irish Festival (more than a day) and Scottich Fesival.
This is an aboriginal initiative, they invited all cultures to have activities to represent themselves, it will be a wonderful event! Hope to see you there!
Looking forward to this event. Miramichi has a very diverse and unique culture and it is good to see it being expressed.
Sounds like it will be a great event but sad to hear that the sponsoring community Metepenagiag First Nations did not ask there own historical interpretation center Metepenagiag Heritage Park to be present for this event.
Thank you to the sponsors of this event for bringing a Pow Wow to the Chatham Waterfront. The tee-pees look so beautiful there…looking forward to the Sunrise Ceremony tomorrow morning and to the Feast @ 3:00 pm.
