Indigenous Intercultural Exchange
We are honoured to include this very special event hosted by the Kumugwe Cultural Foundation in collaboration with the Brazilian Cultural Foundation that will bring together the indigenous and afro-indigenous cultures in the spirit of reconciliation and recognizing the need for racial harmony, embracing the cultural diversity and sharing of human values and a sense of belonging. The presentation will be hosted free by the Kumugwe Cultural Foundation at the K’òmoks First Nation Big House with the purpose of sharing the traditional drumming, singing and dance from the Afro-indigenous cultures of Brazil and the indigenous west coast culture of the Komox First Nation. This event will be the first of its kind for the BCF will be a positive and transformational experience for the community while strengthening international relationships. Due to popularity, this event is now full.
