National Aboriginal Day is about celebration, education and sharing.

In keeping with that spirit and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Kumugwe Cultural Society, this year the Kumugwe Dance Group is offering the Comox Valley community a rare opportunity.

On Wednesday June 21, He Waka K艒tuia, a M膩ori group hailing from the 艑t膩kou territory of New Zealand, will be joining the Kumugwe Dance Group for a performance in the K鈥檕moks Bighouse.

He Waka K艒tuia is a M膩ori cultural group of families dedicated to developing kapa haka (M膩ori performing arts), M膩ori culture and language revitalization for M膩ori youth and families since 2005.

The Kumugwe Dance Group is a Kwakwaka鈥檞akw and K鈥檕moks dance group focused on learning, sharing and educating the greater community about our ancient Indigenous culture. It is a rare honour and privilege to host He Waka K艒tuia in the Comox Valley and we are excited to share an evening of rich cultural diversity with the community.

Join the Kumugwe Dance Group and He Waka K艒tuia the K鈥檕moks Bighouse. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the event will start at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation with all proceeds going to He Waka K艒tuia.
