Listen
to the drums beating heartbeat awakening now reverb waiting disturbing
falsetto singers echoing along the banks of the great river. It's Pow Wow time in the Six Nations Reserve in Ontario. Bordering
the cities of Caledonia, Hagersville, and the County of Brant, the rich
cultural heritage of the tradition of the people of First Nations,
known as the Haudenosaunee name, the host of an annual special event
with over 400 animated dancers , singers, dozens of traditional craftsmen, and over 30 vendors of unique food products.

The eyes and ears of your sound waves heart of capture around us comfort or call the action; dance. Arctic snow, through the vast changing landscape of East Northwest forests, the musical traditions of First Nations express life lessons and do not represent an entity, but several soundscapes of a region and for a nation to another.
