Memorial feast and round dance coming up
Local residents will have the opportunity to participate in a traditional feast and round dance in the new year.
It’s also noteworthy that 2019 will mark the fourth and final year of the memorial event to honour both prominent Cree artist Allen Sapp from Red Pheasant First Nation, who died Dec. 29, 2015, as well as the Walking with Our Sisters project.
Leah Garven is co-lead on the committee for Walking with Our Sisters-North Battleford and curator at the Allen Sapp Gallery.
“It was started off as part of Walking with our Sisters in 2016. It coincided with the death of Allen Sapp. At that time it became a memorial round dance,” she said.
