Urban Aboriginal Cultural Festival 2005... September 24 - 25... Montréal... Québec... Canada

A Powwow organized by the Native Friendship Center of Montréal.

We were among the many visitors at the powwow. Eric got off the plane back from Europe and rushed straight to Cabot square.

The team of the Native Frienship Center of Montréal did an amazing job, and so did all the participants.

In spite of a sneaky rain, we really enjoyed ourselves.

Outstanding dress

Visitors are welcome to join...

... which they do!

The drummers' tent

To quote Duke Ellington:
" It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing "
:-)

Outstanding collection of masks, at Samuel's and Rocio's tent...

... not to mention their nice dreamcatchers and drums.
In the background, you can see works coming right from South America, presented by an Inca participant from Ecuador.
