Happy World Dance Day! Get up and do a little dance at least once today! Respect to all the professional & traditional dance peeps of the world!

Even though I missed the deadline for the #honouringkokum21 special, I’m sharing this video with love from the traditional territory of Biigtigong Nishnaabeg, o...n the north shore of Lake Superior. Being away from our friends, family and community during this time has been a major challenge. Today I danced for all the people who wished they could, especially the kokums. Miigwetch to Black Bear for this beautiful song. I am not a professional dancer but I dance with love in my heart. Chi-Miigwetch. PS, I couldn’t hear the honour beats so I had to sort of make things up as I went. Life lesson: just do the best you can.
