For the second year in a row, Amlamgog First Nation is hosting a youth pow-wow, featuring young dancers and drummers from around Mi’kmaqi. This year, the open invitation event has expanded to a second day, adding an evening youth social on Friday and community feast Saturday evening at the Dorchester Veterans Community Centre.
Amlamgog cultural coordinator Nicole Porter says the powwow helps Amlamgog youth get inspired by their culture, and helps the wider community learn and reflect on the meaning of peace and friendship, “coming together in friendship, sharing the space, sharing each other’s culture.”
The grand entry starts at noon on Saturday at 88 Bernard Trail, Fort Folly (Amlamgog) First Nation, and Porter says everyone is welcome.
