Several Canadian art galleries will be featuring installations, pieces and other work by Aboriginal artists this summer.

The Thunder Bay Art Gallery is featuring Vancouver-based Micmac artist Theresa Marshall with an installation entitled "Bandstands." Her work is described as a "drum-based, interactive installation." An installation refers to a work of art that is created specifically for a particular space.

On the powwow circuit, one of the more traditional dances that has survived the times, although it has undergone a number of changes, is the grass dance.

The Cree, Assiniboin and Blackfeet are said to have obtained this dance form from the Yankton Sioux who bought it from the Omaha, then passed it on to their western relatives, the Lakota. The grass dance is said to have entered Canada around 1880, and rapidly grew in popularity, especially among young dancers, due to the incredible amount of energy that is required in it's execution.

Just a few minutes north of Saskatoon, where the South Saskatchewan River and the Opimihaw Creek meet, is the Wanuskewin Heritage Park. This was a camping, hunting and meeting site used by the Aboriginal people of the northern Plains for more than 6,000 years. It is now home to one of the most important archeological sites in the world, as well as a visitor's centre, life-size sculptures of buffalo and hunters and walking trails.
