As we take the time to remember and reflect upon Truth & Reconciliation this week, our class explored the history and cultural significance of Pow Wow. We discussed the different regalia, dance, and music you might see if you attended a Pow Wow. Our class also chatted about how ‘indomitable’ means ‘never defeated’, and how Indigenous cultures have continued to resist against racism/colonialism. In the video “Indomitable”, DJ Shug and The Northern Cree Singers tell the story of a young Indigenous person who travels from their job in a city, driving many miles to go to a Pow Wow. Once they arrive, we see them changing into their regalia and connecting with community and culture.
