Community marks National Indigenous Peoples Day

IMG 7037

Saturday, June 21, was National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, a day for honouring and celebrating the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of Indigenous peoples. The occasion was marked at the Badands Community Facility with dancing by performers like Shane Red Old Man, drumming and food. Local Knowledge Keeper Lynn Fabrick led the celebrations, which had to be moved indoors from the Tipi to the BCF because of rain.
