We have students coming from the schools and we have feather teachings for them, cultural games, spear throwing , nail drive and Fox tail games.  There is going to be a free barbecue at 5:30, so get your tickets from the registration table and the Rez Boys will be our headliner performance. There will be lots of other musical acts including a drummer group from McIsaac and Ruth Betts."
