Kamloopa Powwow honours indigenous culture
KAMLOOPS — It’s one of the most impressive sights of the summer in Kamloops.
The Grand Entry at the Kamloopa Powwow on Saturday afternoon was chaotic and loud, swirling colours and throbbing drums, as hundreds of Indigenous people from across Western Canada and the United States dressed in their finest regalia and danced their way into the arbour at the Tk’emlups te Sepwepemc powwow grounds.
This weekend marked the 39th edition of this version of the Kamloopa Powwow, a special event for many of those who took part in the festivities.
