Pow Wow in Punnichy, Saskatchewan


We are entering in to a joint venture agreement with a local First Nation in Saskatchewan and were invited to be guests at their annual Pow Wow last week.  Amazing experience.  We were part of the formal "grand entry" ceremony in to the sacred dance circle.  Over 100 traditional dancers - young and old, men and women all around us.  Two groups of drummers and singers took turns during the evening under a star lit prairie sky.  It was something I'd never experienced before.  Long day, awesome night.  90 minute drive north of Regina, then east for 27 km on gravel roads.  Enjoyed it so much S and I went to a Pow Wow this weekend in Langley.
