Karin and I were very lucky to be invited to the 3rd Annual Nova Scotia Community College Maowi'omi Pow Wow. The people were very friendly and welcoming of us, both Karin and I really enjoyed our stay in Truro. The even was one day, from 10am - 2pm, and we were fortunate to be involved with this pow-wow, as it was very educational. Ww learned a lot about the traditional dances and regalia, and had an opportunity to present our own cultural traditions. The audience learned about our clothing and watched us perform our throat singing, and we received a lot of positive feedback. I also had the opportunity to explain about NARMP, and the nomination call for 2010 role models. I spoke about my experiences with the Youth Suicide PRevention Walk, and encouraged others to be role models themselves. All in all, I really enjoyed my visit to the east coast and hope to return soon!
