The opening ceremonies kicked off this afternoon at 1 p.m. with smudging and a drum ceremony performed by Turning Leaves In The Wind.
Paul gifted the group with a unique personal painting, inspired by a member that was lost in recent years.
Thomas Sinclair, one of the featured artists at this event is truly proud to bring this glimpse into his culture to the City of Dauphin.
"The Art itself is just a reflection on our entire lifestyle, the entire way we live our lives. In bringing in culture, and more and more culture that we possibly can, we show that in spite of all those things that happened to us and our parents, our grandparents, and our great-grandparents, our culture is still here. Our cultures survived all those terrible things, and we're flourishing."
There are dozens of unique paintings at this display, and all of them are available to purchase.
This cultural experience will be running until the 19th of september, so theres still some time to find a painting that speaks to you if you're looking to purchase.
