The big pow wow up here is Mawio'mi, which takes place in Halifax, Nova Scotia next weekend.

This year is the celebration of the baptism of Chief Membertou in 1610.

This is one of the promotional videos done by one of the dancers, he captures in words precisely how it is for me to dance in the circle. (Maybe it's a bear thing wink )

Watching the video and hearing his description of the feeling gave me shivers and I felt the deep spirituality of the dance.

Seems like the video and words must have reached the Bear in you, Wendy. smile

I carry a bear in the circle as well, but only for grand entry, the flag song, veterans song and any honor songs they have at the beginning. Then I put him back in his basket that is lined with cedar.
