The 18U AA Pirates are in contention for a provincial banner in Leduc this weekend.
Dancers in traditional colourful regalia packed Onion Lake Cree Nation for its annual powwow. The annual event, held from July 18 to 20 at Onion Lake Cree Nation, drew participants from across Canada and the United States, celebrating Indigenous culture and community. Organizers say the powwow is a time of healing and unity,
welcoming both Indigenous and non-Indigenous visitors. With categories ranging from Tiny Tots to Golden Age, dancers and bands competed throughout the weekend, while vendors from across the country offered traditional food, art and crafts. The grand entries featured hundreds of dancers four times throughout the weekend. The host band came from Quebec to perform among many others. MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 2
