Background Echoes Drum Festival of Sault Ste. Marie in partnership with the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board invites you to come and participate in a four day drum festival and Aboriginal celebration days from June 18-20, 2009 to celebrate peace and harmony of all races. The festival is being held in historical Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada which was named by the Ojibwe people as "Bawating" meaning "the meeting place by the water".
Echoes of the World festival is the vision of two Cree women with a mission to promote inter-racial understanding of the many diverse cultures of the world, and the relationship we have to each other and the earth. And most importantly, to identify our similarities and our differences through the sharing of traditional music, songs and dance in the spirit of peace and harmony. Echoes has moved into a partnership with the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board to bring Sault Ste. Marie an expanded menu of performances, educational venues, cultures and resources in a 4 day immersion. Come and immerse yourself!
