Drum Is Calling Festival- Semoya Dancers

Описание: July 25 #DrumIsCalling #Canada150PLUS

The Drum Is Calling Festival is taking place on the
unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish &
Tsleil-Waututh Nations- also known as Vancouver

Here's some of the videos that I took yesterday. It's
a really beautiful event and I am sad that more
people were not there as you are really missing out.

That said it was perfect for me as I didn't feel
crowded and I was able to get wonderful photos. I
felt sorry for the Semoya Dancers as the stage was
SO HOT and the poor kids had barefeet so they
had to stop and put shoes on but I totally
understood.

Their regalia is really warm also so hope they are all
well today and didn't get heatstroke. Their dances
were very beautiful and thank you for the teachings
from the Sto'lo Nation about the bears and berries
and the origin story of the mountain goats,
lightening and the women.

It was a lot to learn at once for please forgive me if I
don't explain it right. Thank you to the elder Mary
Vickers? and to her lovely grandchildren. O'siem
