A Powwow Story
A Powwow Story
Description
Looking for a story with positive and inclusive content? Want to leave the city and go on a summer road trip? Well, pack your suitcase and grab your snacks! Hop in the car and journey to Kamloopa, the biggest powwow on the West Coast, with 16-year-old Ben and his urban Indigenous family.
Ben has never been to a powwow, and he is excited to experience the dances, drumming and traditions for the first time. He hopes to learn so much, but will he connect with his family and culture there? With guidance and a surprise from his great Aunt Ruthie, young Ben has a powerful experience at Kamloopa, one that fills him with deep love and pride.
Set on the ancestral and unceded lands of Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc, A Powwow Story gives students and teachers chances to start important conversations about Indigenous cultures and histories in the classroom. With simple sentence structures and carefully selected vocabulary, it is great material for beginner to intermediate English-language learners, and a story they won't soon forget.
