Devon Bidal is a journalist in Victoria, BC.
During my visit to Vancouver Island, she took a break from journalism to do what she loved doing in her earlier life.
We went to Mt. Douglas to fuse Bhangra and Highland dances for creating cross-cultural bridges and unity-in-diversity.
During my brief stay on the Island, I visited a little village – Paldi, which is close to Duncan, BC.
Island’s Paldi was created by Sikh people in 1916, who came from village Paldi in Punjab.
It was fulfilling to visit the place of my ancestors and dance Bhangra there.

Your phone’s speakers may not produce the actual Dhol drum sound, so try through a bigger speaker for more joy for your ears and mind.
A conversation with Khasha in his native language Southern Tutchone at village Champagne, Yukon, Canada. Khasha learned the language of his ancestors, and now he is a Southern Tutchone teacher in nearby town Haines Junction. He also inspired me to speak in the language of my ancestors, Punjabi.

The village Champagne is located in the traditional territory of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN).
