Virtual powwow brings community together – BayToday

by ahnationtalk on November 19, 2020120 Views

COVID-19 this year canceled Nipissing First Nation’s annual traditional event as well as Little NHL 2020 and 2021

The beat of the drum, dancing, and good vibrations brought Nipissing First Nation and all their relations together for a virtual powwow on the weekend.

Organized by the Nipissing Cultural Centre, the event was run with COVID-19 restrictions under a controlled environment at the roofed outdoor rink in Garden Village. It was live-streamed to YouTube for 2.5 hours Saturday afternoon and by Monday there were 1,500 views. Live chat comments came from community members in their homes and across Ontario, Michigan, the Canadian prairies, and into the United States.

Bob Goulais was master of ceremonies and Perry McLeod-Shabogesic lead elder, with the long-time friends playing co-hosts who blended relevance and humour throughout.
