THE LION'S DEN
What happens when 2 Star-Wars obsessed, long-haired, multi-instrumentalist, oldest-of-many-brothers guys named Daniel team up together in front of a bunch of kids? Why a perfect fit of course! The Lions Den is a band of two guys named Daniel who never really grew up. With years of family entertaining experience Daniel Jordan (nephew of and band leader for Winnipeg’s Sultan of Spaghetti Rocki Rolletti) and Daniel Peloquin-Hopfner (Riding Mountain National Park Troubadours) combine education and entertainment into raucous and fun-filled family EDU-TAINMENT! Expect goofiness, a Dan's floor (get it?) and interactive songs about the beauty of nature, sing-alongs about your Grandfather's Clock and annoyingly catchy ditties extolling the virtues of cute fuzzy Ewoks as projectile weaponry. The Lions Den doesn’t bite… at least not the audience.
White Feather Singers - From Opikihiwawin
A Program of New Directions For Children Youth Adults and Families
White Feather Singers is an Aboriginal pow wow drum group for young women, a rarity in the tradition of male pow wow singers. Led by Lisa Strong, they have performed at several pow wows in Manitoba and Ontario including 2009’s Aboriginal Day celebrations at Riding Mountain National Park. White Feather Singers formed in early 2008 at Opikihiwawin, a program of New Directions For Children, Youth, Adults and Families. Opikihiwawin provides cultural education and supports for Aboriginal adoptees and foster people in all stages of their lives. The powerful blend of White Feather Singers’ voices pays tribute to their ancestors while calling out to the future.
