The McMaster First Nations Student Association (MFNSA) will be hosting a Welcoming Powwow on Friday September 25th 2009 from 11:30am to 3:30pm in front of JHE (John Hodgins Engineering) building.
This powwow will be MFNSA's first event of the year, and the first-ever powwow on the McMaster campus. The powwow is a celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the creation of MFNSA in 1989. The event allows MFNSA to inform students, staff and faculty about Indigenous cultures on campus, as well as promote the Indigenous Studies Program at McMaster University.
There will be a number of different demonstrations at the event, including dancing, singing and drumming. Some of the participants will be giving presentations about the different styles of dances and about the dances themselves. There will be information tables from a few different groups, including MFNSA, the Indigenous Studies Program, and the Aboriginal Health Conference. Traditional cuisine samples which include strawberry drink, Three Sisters Soup, bannock, and wild rice will be available. Speakers from the Indigenous Studies Program will also be in attendance.
