CBC Vancouver Returns As Sponsor for Talking Stick Festival
February 16-26
CBC Vancouver is proud to support local Aboriginal art and returns as the media sponsor of the 2017 Talking Stick Festival, taking place February 16-26, 2017.
The Talking Stick Festival is a two-week celebration serving to preserve and promote the language, culture and art forms of First Nations people. Aboriginal traditions of music, dance, and storytelling are presented in a contemporary and entertaining way.
The festival takes place at multiple venues in Metro Vancouver. All areas of the performing arts are represented - theatre, dance, drumming, music, spoken word, and multimedia performance. These artistic disciplines celebrate Aboriginal culture and showcase the new evolving contemporary work of today's artists.
The stories and art practises in the First Nations culture have enormous depth and are rich in teachings. The Festival is an avenue to bring Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people together, to network, share ideas and pass on knowledge.
