Prince Albert celebrates National Indigenous Peoples Day
The thundering of the big drum filled Kinsmen Park as the Gateway to the North celebrated National Indigenous Peoples Day.
Indigenous and non-Indigenous residents alike gathered for an afternoon filled with knowledge-sharing, food, and live entertainment.
“Anybody that’s Indigenous in the crowd, celebrate today. Walk tall, be proud, and never forget where you came from,” Janet Carriere, from the Prince Albert Indian and Métis Friendship Centre said. “Those that are non-Indigenous … reach across, ask questions, learn.”
The gathering was kicked off by a Grand Entry celebration at 2 p.m.
