Chief Misel Joe, Conne River First Nation
The Eagle Dance
|
Conne River was the place to be over the weekend of July 2,3 and 4 as
they held Powwow '99. Visiting tribal representatives came from Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Ontario, Oklahoma and Alaska. The annual Powwow is an alcohol and drug free
event which brings together First Nations from all over in friendship to give thanks for a
prosperous year. It is also an opportunity for the host tribe to share their good fortune
with visiting brothers and sisters and to educate others of the Mi'kmaq culture and
language.
