    The stage came to life with Ojibway, Cree, Assiniboine and Sioux tribes represented in the Summer Bear Dance Troupe from Winnipeg, and Yamoussa Bangoura, Productions Kalabante from Montreal, a multi-talented collaboration of Guinean and Francophone musicians and acrobats (www.kalabante.org). The combined drumming and dancing finally was a great demonstration of how these best of these two cultures combine to be more each indivifually.
