150 years ago this week, Chiefs and Headman entered Treaty No. 2 with representatives of the Queen of England & Ireland.
To commemorate this event, the Treaty 2 Government is inviting people to come to Wasagaming this Friday & Saturday for live performances and much more.
The coordinator of the commemoration, Marlene Davis says, there's going to be many performers at this event:
"We're going to have some pow-wow dancers on the main stage, world champion jiggers Felicia Morrisseau and Ryan Richard are coming, our house band for Saturday is going to be The Mosquitoes out of Pinaymootang, we're also going to be having local entertainers as well. Live entertainment will take place from 1-11p.m. on Saturday."
Along with these performers, Davis mentioned that there will be a surprise that you don't want to miss:
"We have a surprise headliner. We aren't allowed to share that right now but it's going to be a surprise for everyone in attendance."
She also says that commemorations start tomorrow with some ceremonies:
"It starts on Friday, August 20th. It starts with a pipe ceremony at 8 o'clock in the morning as well as a water ceremony that'll bless everything in a good way and get everything started."
Everyone is invited and welcome to attend.
