Local storytellers, artists, drummers and dancers joined the festivities throughout the day, which included a collaborative chalk mural project on Dewdney Avenue and a children’s powwow, among other activities. Kevin Wesaquate is one of the artists and storytellers who took part, and he felt the day was an excellent opportunity to share Indigenous culture and traditions especially with a younger generation. “To have these kids take part is just so important, not only for them but for everybody,” said Wesaquate. “The buffalo, the cultural teachings that surround tipis and these pipe ceremonies, these kids are learning at the same time as the settler community is learning.”
