Zafir and Munira Nagji: Aboriginal dance fosters sense of belonging

Munira-and-Zafir-NagjiMunira Nagji, who is originally from Tanzania, was looking for an interesting way for her 10-year-old son Zafir to learn more about his community.

“I’ve always been attracted to the First Nations’ culture.”

In a local community centre, they found a brochure with details about TeenZone.

Zafir and his mom were immediately drawn to Eagle’s Back Pow Wow Dance.

“Their traditions are really interesting,” explains Zafir.
