"When I dance, I don't think about anything."

Sophie Kistabish, Anishinabe

With dances and drums, more and more Indigenous youth are reconnecting with their culture. By participating in Pow Wows or public gatherings, they’re affirming their identity. Sophie Kistabish likes to dance. The sound of the drum makes her forget the everyday problems. Her mind is at rest and her heart is filled with joy. She feels a sense of peace and regains the pride of being Anishinabe.
