Cultural event with a lot of heart makes triumphant return to Prince Albert
Aurra Isbister smiles when asked what it means to dance in her jingle dress, while thousands of people watch.
The 13-year-old from La Ronge took part in Friday’s grand entry ceremony at Kinsmen Park that kicked off the fifth annual Heart of the Youth Pow Wow.
“It means a lot to me because I know in the past, Indigenous people were not allowed to dance,” she said, adding both her parents and grandparents tell her how proud they are of her.
The popular event is organized by Prince Albert Youth Outreach Inc. Executive Director Bill Chow told paNOW he was excited to see everyone gathered.
