The spirit drumdancer is singing of our culture and customs and how our ancestors lived thousands of years ago. The Dancing Scarf Child is mimicking the spirit drumdancers stories being told. Even the Polar Bear celebrates with toys that were made from animals and materials from the land. Mother Earth is splendid!

I was as quick as Maurice (the Rocket) Richard, agile like Guy Lafleur. I had the charisma and hands of Mario Lemieux, and the defensive skills of Raymond Bourque. If only I had learned to brake!
