The evening dances are called "49er" style dancing, where everyone gathers around in a circle to form a chain. The dance itself follows train-like movements. Goodchild says they're expecting "We're a minimum of have social dances in 100 people to the evening where anyone who's not Indi- an can participate." attend. "It's basically three days of dancing and singing," he says. "We'll have various booths set up selling things like non-alcoholic bev- erages, moose meat burgers, wild rice--traditional native meals." The Pow Wow opens with the grand entry, which Good- child describes as the most "gallant" time to attend the ceremony. "That's when we have all the dancers marching into the sacred circle at one time," he says. "It usually runs for about half an hour." In addition to the grand entry song, a veteran's song and a flag song is also per- formed. _ "Flag songs are sung in hon- our of the Canadian and Amer- ican flags, as well as the Nish- nawbe Eagle Staff," he says. "And the veteran's song is meant to honour anyone who's served in a war, peacekeeping force, or who's engaged right now in any military activities."
