On May 11, the River East Transcona School Division held its seventh annual division-wide powwow at Miles Macdonell Collegiate.
“The powwow is a gathering of community and a time of celebration,” Leanne Smith, Indigenous perspectives and education consultant, said in a statment. “This year, we’re excited to honour the Grade 12 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit youth moving on to their next journey in life as they enter the powwow during the grand entry.”
A pipe ceremony kicked off the event at 4 p.m., followed by a community feast, vendors, and the powwow itself, which included drum groups and colourfully dressed traditional dancers from across the province, as well as students, families, and others from throughout the division.
