CELEBRATE WITH US The Selkirk Spirit Dancers at Moosehide Gathering in summer 2016. Shayla Snowshoe For thousands of years our arts and culture have kept our stories alive. Not long ago, some of our traditions were outlawed, and we were shamed for practising our culture. These were dark times for our people, but our Elders never forgot our ways. Today, as we come back into the light, we invite you to celebrate with us at our many festivals and year-round community celebrations, where our songs, dance and art come to life. Our cultural and interpretive centres are here to welcome and guide you with an authentic glimpse into who we are – our past, our present and our vibrant future. For cultural centre locations, please see the map on the inside cover.

“I knew we had come full circle in the revitalization of our culture through traditional practices. That was my goal as a weaver. I can make robes, one at a time, but I need people to dance them – to make the robes come alive again.” Ashea, Ann Smith Kwanlin Dün First Nation Wolf Clan Elder A youth wearing his regalia at the Adäka Cultural Festival.
