A drum social this weekend at the St. Clair Centre for the Arts sets the stage for celebrations, gatherings and new beginnings among the Aboriginal and First Nations communities of Windsor-Essex, says Russell Nahdee, coordinator of the University’s Aboriginal Education Centre.
“The intent is to promote our identity by focusing on our culture, our languages, our achievements, our children and our values as Native people,” says Nahdee, one of the organizers. “It is an awareness event for the general public to learn, to see and hear what we as a people are all about.”
An exhibition opening this weekend at the Art Gallery of Windsor will feature works by local youths participating in an educational program through the campus Aboriginal Education Centre.
