Curt Young Visits Inner City Students…
A big thanks to Indigenous musician Curt Young for visiting us yesterday and sharing his music, his teachings, and stories about his dancing and regalia.
It was a powerful performance, so much so that a student even drew him and presented him with the picture!
Our thanks to the Canadian Native Friendship Centre for connecting Curt with us. 🎶🎤
Curt imparted his message that "Music is Medicine, Dancing is Freedom!"
