The Sakicawasihk Powwow starts Tuesday, July 12 in North Battleford and people are coming from as far as New Mexico, committee chair Roger Anderson said.
“Each category will definitely have world champion dancers,” he said. “The categories are going to be so competitive, it’s going to be good to watch.”
