POWWOW CELEBRATION
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?
I was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria,2022 My family and I relocated to Manitoba, Canada.
In many ways, Canada is a good country to live in. The quality of life is high, and there are plenty of job opportunities I've enjoyed my time living in Canada for the diversity and the culture. Canada’s culture is underpinned by its tolerance, respect, and equality.
Diaspora communities represent and maintain a culture different from those of the countries within which they are located.
Powwows are celebrations that showcase Indigenous music, dances, regalia, food and crafts. powwows are often open to non-Indigenous and Métis and Inuit. This celebration helps express sense of belonging in multiple societies in Canada.
We respect the efforts that Indigenous people have made to preserve and celebrate their culture despite centuries of oppression (that continues today).
Thus, the relationship between homelands and diasporas becomes quite significant, it remains understudied.
