BYOR (Bring your own regalia) & get #OnBeat with Sons of the Drum at our two, pop-up, out-door, non-competitive, family-friendly locations in the heart of Winnipeg. The body of Indigenous regalia and dance encompasses a rich tradition of kinship and spirituality. Bring the family down to our mini, one day, non-competitive, urban pow-wow trail presented by Urban Shaman Gallery in partnership with the Wall-to-Wall Festival.

Each location will be a performance of 30 to 40 minutes (thus the pop up aspect of the event). We hope the pow wow community understands this is a kind of Friendship Dance event and to bring the spirit of unity and fun to the gathering. All welcome!

Members of the collective are Bill Dathrill Atkinson, Darcey Wayne Henry, Frank Daniels Junior, Garrett Ryan Henry, Jordan Starr, Jordan Seenie, Matt Mousseau, Nina Assiniboine Francis-Henry, Tyson Keith Henry, Travis Henry.
