Dear Editor:
Thank you for featuring the Squamish Powwow (July 8-10) – so many more will feel welcome to attend.
It has been offered annually for 28 years and this year was the best ever news coverage. It was announced front page the week before and then another front page showing the amazing regalia of the dancers as well as a full-page story about the event. There are so many cultures that make up our community; the newspaper has a healthy role in featuring each one, especially when they share their beauty with all of us.
As so much of the world news has so many stories of divisions, misunderstandings leading to hatred and violence, and politics that divide peoples, I am hoping our community can be an example of honouring each other and finding interest in what makes us diverse. We all have strengths that make us who we are as the village that raises the children. Please keep searching for ways to share our diversities so everyone can feel proud to live here.
