Poundmaker's Round Dance Culture and harmony celebratec°

By Dianne Meili Windspeaker Editor

"All right, now we have a drum group from Saddle Lake. Come on, make five circles ... make ten circles, but everybody, get up and round dance!" The voice of emcee Roy Coyote reaches across the packed gymnasium of the Poundmaker Nechi Centre. First a few children get up and hold hands, forming a line. Adults, grandparents and teenagers move from their seats and a circle around the central drum group starts to form. A minute passes and eventually there are four huge circles of people holding hands and side -stepping to the beat. The whole gymnasium is alive with hoops of people moving in a clockwise direction, the same way the sun moves across the sky. A small boy wants to dance too. Shyly, he walks around the outside of the outer circle and touches the hand of a teenaged boy. The teenager looks down at him and smiles, patting the tyke on the head. Clockwise from t The teenager makes a break in Lodge director: Shirt the dance; late in the circle and the little boy strong; asleep or joins in, looking down at his own shuffling feet and then months old; Deni swinging his arms. provided unique It's getting on to 11 p.m. and the Nov. 19 annual Round Dance, at the St. Albert alcohol and drug treatment, is going full guns. The celebration caps off activities planned in recognition of the national addiction awareness week. Children wrestle on the dance floor sidelines and elders sit contentedly watching the dance. Coyote announces the Dene Tha' drum group, from Assumption, will play a special prayer song and everyone stands in respect. Then, they play several songs that people dance to - not holding hands as they did in the Round Dance, but still in a circle in front of the drummers. The Denes' snare drums reverberate and their voices are not so high pitched as the Cree songs. The sound is a little haunting and the crowd seems to appreciate the unique Dene style. They clap for a long time when the group has finished. After midnight, Coyote tells the crowd that the dancing will stop for a while as the feast is ready to be served. Before too long, tables are set up in the middle of the gym and 800 people are fed rabbit, moose and deer stew, along with bannock. Once everyone has eaten and the elders are given small bags of dried fish, a special gift from the Indians of Hay River who came down to the Round Dance to learn more about the alcohol treatment centre and its programs, the dancing starts again. Anne Buggins, 75 years old, and one of the Hay River women who dried the fish for the feast, says the Round Dance "is very good." She still dances once in a while, but says her legs are too sore for extended dancing. She still tans moosehide, dries meat and makes moccasins and jackets, though. She is not the only person who has travelled a long way to get to the dance. Many others are from other parts of the Northwest Territories and the Red Pheasant Reserve in Saskatchewan. Pat Shirt, director of Poundmaker's Lodge treatment centre, stands up on the stage and surveys the crowd. He picks up a spare drum lying beside him and does his own little dance. He's happy and who can blame him? Before him he sees many of the people he's helped over the years to battle the addiction problem. Tonight, they are all dancing in traditional harmony at a joyous celebration. He knows that they know, or are finding out, that you can have a good time and still stay sober.
