A thirty-two year old Fancy Shawl dancer, Rose has travelled throughout North America to powwows with her parents, family and her husband, Victor Harry. “I know everything happens for a reason as our people believe and understand. I am honored and humbled at the same time to be selected to represent our Aboriginal people. One of the producers of the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Games told us that we were selected because of our ability to perform and express our dance style.” To our youth – Your family are the people who love you and believe in you. The people who try to hold you down are not worth your energy and time. Always want to be the brightest star in the sky. LUkE Whiteman, Indian (Miinistinum) Berry Carrier, from the Blackfeet & Blood Tribe, Starr SCHOOL, Montana Luke has been dancing Fancy for over thirty years. “It’s an honor to be part of the Olympics – it’s a highlight in my life. It’s history to be in an event like this. I am excited and proud.” To our youth – Whatever happens in life, be positive and be proud of who you are. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do. Stanley Whiteman is A Blackfeet/Blood band member and hails from Starr SCHOOL, Montana. Stanley Whiteman has been dancing ever since he was four years old. “I am very honored and excited to be dancing for the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Games.

Originally accepted to participate for the first three days of the sixteen day event, the Four Host First Nations ex- tended an invitation for SAY to participate in the entire sixteen days. This amazing experience has confirmed for us that there is a huge interest in Native culture, both from North Americans and from people across the world. Our own community participation, particularly in the Opening Ceremonies, was phenomenal. With long line-ups to get into the Aboriginal Pavilion and a steady stream of visitors to the Aboriginal Business Showcase, we all can be proud of the Native presence at these Games. SAY was very fortunate to have our Ambassador, Dallas Arcand, interview some of the dancers as they were preparing for the Opening Ceremonies. See Going Places for these interviews.
