Talk & Book Launch of The Sound of the Homeland Drum by Peter Schuler

Join us for the book launch of The Sound of the Homeland Drum, a collection of texts by Peter Schuler of the Mississaugas of the Credit. Peter is an elder, and long-time friend and collaborator of the ArtsEverywhere Festival and Musagetes. We are honoured to be publishing a book of his selected works written over the last decade. The launch of the book will include a conversation and reading with Peter, alongside special guests, including Indigenous dance collective Odawa Wiingushk. 

Odawa Wiingushk highlights the Fancy Shawl, a dance which imitates the graceful beauty of a butterfly, a storytelling dance connecting to our relationship with the animals called the Prairie Chicken style and the Traditional Dance representing the strength of women who are the backbone of our communities, life-givers, life sustainers and water carriers, in a dynamic and engaging performance for all. Odawa Wiingushk often invites other dancers and styles to be braided into their performance to highlight a variety of dance styles on the Powwow Trail.

This afternoon event includes free lunch.
