Where do I start and where do I end. I guess thats the point about a pow wow. There is no beginning and there is also no end. A spiritual journey never has either. Language as we know it, has no expression, catch phrase or saying to put this event in words. The best I can do is say wow. I was "wowed" by the " Pow Wow".

I was at the Largest Multi-Disciplined Aboriginal Arts Event in
North America. This year’s theme was “AKWE-KON” which means “everyone”.
It was the 14th Anniversary of the Canadian Aboriginal Festival. And
everyone was welcomed, all races and creeds.

Do you know what a pow wow (powwow ) is? Its a gathering in a
circle, everyone is equal, no one is higher and no one is better than
the other. Powwow means gathering, or celebration, bringing one-time
enemies or foes together in peace to establish new friendships and
celebrate shared traditions. Its like a break where the participants
return to their regular life with a difference – their spirit
rejuvenated, re-freshed and renewed. Until the next powwow.

A circle is formed with Dancers who move searching the ground for
footprints of their ancestors in order to follow their past ways. At
the same time the drum beats out a rhythm representing all creation.
This creation is the sound we remember from our embryonic stage -
before we were born. It is the rhythm and heartbeat of our mother. The drums are easily identifiableto remind us of the heart beat that we all share, a common memory. Sowe do have a common experience that we all share throughout the world.

Families traditionally had to search for enough food and traveled
through the cold Canadian Winters to feed themselves. The powwow event
took place and happened when each family returned and reunited after
the winter season with friends, families and neighbors to dance, drum,
eat and give thanks to the Creator.

We are all equal. The whole world and universe comes together on
this day to celebrate. There’s only one world. That’s the heart beat
world that we all remember and share. I will be back to a Pow Wow in a
heart-beat.
