National Indigenous Peoples Day Traditional Powwow shares culture and connects community
Thousands of people gathered at the Heritage Farm and Village grounds in North Battleford on Wednesday for the National Indigenous Peoples Day Traditional Powwow.
Organized in partnership by the Western Development Museum (WDM)and Kanaweyimik Child & Family Services (CFS), the day long event welcomed community members, families, elders, youth, and schools from across the region.

The Grand Entry, marked by a procession of dancers in traditional regalia, began at 11:00 a.m., officially opening the celebration. Then, throughout the day, dancers of all ages competed while traditional drumming groups from around the province brought a powerful and rhythmic atmosphere to attendees.
