BUFFALO HAT SINGERS
The drums of the Buffalo Hat Singers, the traditional dances (with the Deer Family Mohawk Dancers) and the fire where game meats are grilled express our attachment to Mother Earth and our belonging to the unity of living things. In the shadow of the great teepee, whether they are Mohawks, Naskapi, Inuit, Atikamekw ou Innu, the artists take up the thread uniting us to the ancestors whose spirit continues to live in contemporary creation.

DEER FAMILY, MOHAWK SINGERS AND DANCERS
Family of traditional dancers and singers from the Mohawk community of Kahnawake. The troupe is very involved in a variety of Aboriginal events and they are doing a lot of outreach on Mohawk culture and teaching about traditions.
