Muskoday Community School round dance grows
For the second year in a row, students at the Muskoday First Nation Community School celebrated 100 days of class with a round dance.
This year though, they extended invitations to the dance to schools around the Prince Albert region, and beyond. It was standing room only in the community school’s gymnasium once students gathered.
According to Awacey Lavallee, a Cree cultural advisor for the school, roughly 10 schools participated in the round dance on Feb. 9. The interest in the round dance brought joy to his heart.
“It’s something that every Cree culture guy wants to see, our kids doing more with our culture, learning about our culture… it just brings so much joy to me,” Lavallee said.
