I wear plains regalia and bring extra drums and rattles with me singing social songs in Cree where I explain the stories behind the songs and their place in cultural practice in advance of performing each. Drums, rattles and regalia are all explained and I invite the children up to perform with me, ending the performance in a classroom round dance.
