National Indigenous People’s Day celebrating resiliency
A rainy morning and power outages couldn’t dampen the spirits of participants of the “Miyawatamowin Sohkastwatin” pancake breakfast event hosted by Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre Inc., at the Agrivilla in North Battleford.
Translated into “Celebrating Resiliency,” the message, the music and the community spoke to the meaning of National Indigenous People’s Day on Fri., June. 21.
As the crowds feasted on pancakes and visited each other, battlefordsNOW and meadowlakeNOW spoke with those who attended about what the day meant to them and how they are honouring the Calls to Action.
