Heart of our Youth community Powwow a rousing success
Although the weather was a little dreary, the spirits were high at Kinsmen Park.
At least 750 turned up at the park to take part in the Prince Albert Community Powwow, a turnout which excited the head of the powwow committee, and Prince Albert Outreach Elder Liz Settee.
“I’m so amazed at the people who showed up today, it’s absolutely incredible,” Settee said. “It shows how much something like this is needed yearly.”
Students from all over Prince Albert and schools in the surrounding area descended on Kinsmen Park for the event. Settee said the powwow is an important part of their cultural education; students learned about each dance along with some of the protocols of the arbour.
