On today’s show: We talk with Amlamgog First Nation cultural coordinator Nicole Porter about the 2024 Amlamgog Youth Powwow happening this Saturday, and featuring young dancers and drummers from around Mi’kmaqi. This year, Porter has expanded the event to two days, adding an evening youth social on Friday at the Dorchester Veterans Community Centre. Porter says the powwow helps Amlamgog youth get inspired by their culture, and helps the wider community learn and reflect on the meaning of peace and friendship, “coming together in friendship, sharing the space, sharing each other’s culture.”
