Around 150 students and teachers linked hands and sidesteped their way around a group of singers playing hand drums in the gymnasium of the Muskoday First Nation Community School on Friday.
The singers were some of the best of the best in Saskatchewan. Included in the drum circle was Brad Crain, the only powwow drummer and singer from the Muskoday First Nation.
From afar, Crain appeared only slightly taller than his fellow singers, but as he approached, his size was almost overwhelming.
