Powwow orientation organized for campus community

November 2, 2011

Powwow time is a way of getting together to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, making new ones and sharing a meal. This is a time for everyone to come together to renew thoughts of the old ways to preserve the rich Aboriginal history.

Aboriginal Programs and Services has organized a Powwow Orientation on November 18 to help everyone learn more about the ceremonies, traditions, and history of the Powwow. The orientation takes place from 11 a.m. to 12 noon in the University Centre building (room UNC 210)

This event is open to everyone. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal culture and heritage and how it is still being celebrated in communities throughout Canada.

To RSVP for this orientation contact Johanna Sam, Aboriginal Student Advisor, by Wednesday, Nov. 16.
