Organizations running Indigenous People’s Day events promise lots of food and fun.
A big pancake breakfast will take place in the morning at Battle River Treaty Six Health Centre in downtown North Battleford.
Battle River Treaty Six Health Centre is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The occasion will also be marked by a signing of a regional co-operative framework between the Battlefords and nearby First Nations.
Out at Fort Battleford, the day begins with a pipe ceremony, followed by entertainment for children, storytelling, wagon rides and free hot dogs at lunch time.
Guest speakers will be on hand at 2 p.m., followed by a cannon firing and a round dance.
Urban Treaty Day isn’t too far away either. Registration begins at the Dekker Centre at 9 a.m. Wednesday, June 26, followed by the Grand Entry at 10 a.m. There will be a mini competition powwow and various activities for children. Soup and bannock will also be served.
