Ceremony is a theme I’ve thought a lot about since witnessing the Sundance in July 2017. Settler society for the most part, participates in ceremonies that stem from forms of consumption and capitalism- Christmas, Valentine’s day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, probably one of the most removed from capitalism is problematic for its ties to colonization and celebrating white supremacy. Then there is Remembrance Day- the idea of protecting a white Canada.

Also, what is the difference between ritual and ceremony? Is it authentic ceremony if it advances capital profits instead of rejuvenating spirit?
