Most people can’t help but snap a few photos at a powwow, but this weekend one of those photos could be worth a $500 gift card for the SLFN’s Tipi Fuel and Convenience Store.

The Sturgeon Lake First Nation (SLFN) is located about 40 minutes north-west of Prince Albert with the powwow kicking off on Friday at 7 p.m.

“We welcome everyone to join us in our special annual cultural celebration,” said Chief Longjohn in a news release. “The powwow is a chance for non-Indigenous people in Prince Albert and the surrounding areas to engage with our traditions, learn about our way of life, and help build stronger, more respectful relationships between our communities.”

This year, the powwow committee announced a special competition for the spectators with its Showcase the Spirit photo contest.
