Culture Days kicked off at Weaver Park on Sept. 29 with a variety of activities and learning opportunities.
The event happened over two days and was a chance for people to learn about Indigenous culture.
“For this one we’ve called it cultural connections, a truth and reconciliation learning experience. We have knowledge keepers and elders presenting the teachings. It’s about coming and being able to interact with the elders, with the knowledge keepers, with the Bannock makers, the dream catcher creators and learn directly from the source,” said Beth Bernard, event organizer.
The event offered the community a safe way to come together and learn.
“We partnered with the city and some other partners across our city to try and give our community as well as our schools a chance to have teachings, Indigenous teachings in a nice safe environment,” said Cynthia Young, representing Heart of Treaty Six, co-chair, and Lloydminster Catholic School Division.
It was a hands-on learning experience for all ages. There were hair teachings, tipi teachings, Métis stories, cultural crafts, games, and a community art project.
