The Dreamspeakers Festival of Aboriginal arts kicked off on May 31 with the screening of five short films at the Princess Theatre in Edmonton.

Once upon a time, many years past, there was a man who told a story from his wayward youth. As he so bravely put it, it was a long time ago in a reserve far far away, when he was but a young and innocent Aboriginal living with his family in the serene outdoors known today as Northern Ontario. Then one day, as often happens in tales such as this, a wandering group of archaeologists/anthropologists/sociologists (so grouped for they all looked and acted alike) appeared in his peaceful community.

Allowing media coverage of sacred ceremonies my be frowned upon by some members of the Aboriginal community, but Peigan Elder and spiritual leader Joe Crowshoe welcomes such opportunities.

"Without photographs and stories about our traditions, they'll die out," Crowshoe says. "I don't see any harm in letting people take pictures and write about our traditions if it's done with respect. It helps to teach our young people about the Indian way."

As powwows get bigger and the prize money keeps getting higher, they can no longer be considered a time to get together with old friends and a place to meet new friends.
