On February 16, the Kakato’si Kristian Ayoungman Foundation was signed into existence after the success of the 2023 Lead by Example Powwow.
In 2019 Kristian Ayoungman was killed after a dispute in the town of Strathmore which tragically ended with Ayoungman losing his life.
In 2023 a Powwow was held in Strathmore to honour his memory a year after his killer’s sentencing.
Because of the overwhelming success of the Powwow, Kristian’s family will be continuing the event through foundation to build bridges in the community.
Melodie Ayoungman-Hunt spoke on how the foundation will continue Kristian’s legacy.
The evening proceeded with thanking sponsors and of the previous Powwow along with announcements of how the upcoming celebration will include Relay race held for the first time at the Strathmore Agriculture Grounds.
The Lead by Example Powwow will be taking place on June 7 to June 9.
Details about the upcoming lead, by example Powwow can be found on the CJWE events calendar.
