Drumming, dancing, food, and festivities will be filling the Skownan First Nation this weekend as they host their 10th annual Traditional Powwow.
This celebration of cultural heritage kicks off today at 1 pm with the grand entry, and a busy day is in store.

Powwow Coordinator Joseph Maud has been working hard for the past 12 months to get everything ready, and he's excited to see all of the performers.
"We get a lot of dancers from neighboring communities and drums as well. sometimes we get drums from northern Manitoba and drums from Saskatchewan. I know one year we had 19 to 20 drums, that's a lot, and one year we had over 200 dancers"
Sunday will also feature an auction, starting promptly at 11 am.
Overall, it will be an amazing time for all that attend, as this Powwow is sure to be the biggest party of the year on the Skownan First Nation.
