On May 23, the River East Transcona School Division held its annual community powwow, celebrating Indigenous cultures and traditions within the division, as well as student success.
“Powwows are a time of community, connection, and celebration. They serve as a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and beauty of Indigenous culture and identity,” Leanne Smith, RETSD Indigenous perspectives and education consultant, said in a statement.
A pipe ceremony opened the event, followed by a community feast, followed by the grand entry. Dancers, dressed in traditional regalia, danced to the songs of the drum.
