Memorial Round Dance event returns to Battlefords
Battlefords area residents will have an opportunity to join in a traditional round dance coming to North Battleford next month.
This marks the Third Memorial Round Dance in honour of Allen Sapp and Walking with Our Sisters.
Leah Garven is co-lead on the committee for Walking with Our Sisters-North Battleford and curator at the Allen Sapp Gallery.
“The round dance started a couple of years ago as we were preparing to host the national art memorial – Walking with Our Sisters,” she said. “This is a ceremony held commonly on the Plains and is very important to Indigenous peoples.”
