Gathering of Nations celebrates Indigenous culture
Over the course of the next few days, residents from over a dozen communities across northern Saskatchewan will be in Prince Albert for a special event.
The Gathering of Nations, hosted by Prince Albert Grand Council, is being held on the Chief Joseph Custer reserve, which was once home to both the Senator Allen Bird Gym as well as a residential school. Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte acknowledged the emotions attached to the event.
“It’s about reconciliation. It’s about bringing the children still to the site here. You know there’s a lot of history. Some of it good and some of it not too good,” he said.
