Cultural Sharing
ABORIGINAL FEAST
Monday October 28, 5:30pm – 7:30pm
Carnegie Community Centre Theatre, 401 Main
See below for ticket information
Culturally specific events bring a sense of belonging and camaraderie to an otherwise isolated and disenfranchised Aboriginal population. Carnegie’s weekly Cultural Sharing Program, now in its twenty-fifth year, offers First Nations people from across North America an opportunity to share cultural events such as Pow Wows, cultural trips, singing and drumming, and to make arts & crafts. The Carnegie kitchen is cooking up a delicious menu for the feast, and the Festival presents singers and drummers from the Coast Salish Territory and beyond: Sam George will welcome us to Coast Salish territory, and special guests Git Hayetsk Dancers led by Mike Dangeli will share traditional feast songs of the Northern Nations of the Northwest Coast. Admission is free but you will need a ticket for the dinner. Tickets are available on a first-come first-serve basis at the Cultural Sharing group on the afternoon of Monday October 21. On Monday October 28 only, the day of the Feast, the remaining tickets will be available from the Carnegie third fl oor program office. After 4:30pm on Monday, any remaining tickets will be available at the door of the Theatre on a first-come, first-serve basis. Free

This event was on  Day 6 of  the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!

On page 9 of the Festival Program guide, there is a writeup on AHA MEDIA

The Festival is thrilled to partner with the DTES’s AHA Media to provide social media coverage (video/photos/blog) of the Heart of the City Festival. AHA Media gives voice to our local community and provides services for individuals and organizations to share their news and special events on a broader scale through social media. Founded in 2008 by local artists April Smith, Hendrik Beune, and Al Tkatch, AHA Media previously collaborated with Fearless City Media and has an ongoing working relationship with W2Community Media Arts and various other organizations and individuals in the DTES community. The members of AHA Media describe themselves as “definitely not mainstream media”. Based in Vancouver’s DTES, their style is described as non-invasive and unassuming.
