Youth taking charge with community pow wow planning
Prince Albert will play host to a semi-annual pow wow, and youth are taking charge in the coordination and planning of the gathering, called the Heart of Our Youth Pow Wow.
On April 23, members of the PA Youth Outreach team attended city hall to discuss the coming pow wow, planned for May 25 at Kinsmen park, and to ask council to attend the event to show their support.
The committee outlined the objectives of the pow wow to council.
“We have three main goals for this pow wow; that’s to show that the youth are strong, we can be leaders and role models in the community,” Rene French, a member of the committee said. “To educate the community on the history and the meaning of the pow wow ceremony [and] to provide a venue for our youth drummers and dancers.”
