Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirited People (MMIWG2S+) affects many in the Indigenous community in Calgary.
One of the ways that the Aboriginal Friendship Centre of Calgary assists the community is by gathering them together for an evening of healing through traditional Indigenous practices, such as holding a Powwow.
This will be the second Powwow held at the Big Four Roadhouse on the Calgary Stampede Grounds.
The Powwow itself offers a space for healing through the sounds of bells on a jingle dress and the beat of a drum connecting each person’s hearts into one beat.
Nefew Keith spoke with Krista White of the Friendship Centre to talk about what people can expect at this year’s Red Dress Traditional Powwow.
The Powwow will be taking place on Saturday, May 24. More information can be found on the CJWE Events Calendar.
