The 2016 Powwow Trail has now ended and was as colourful and exciting as expected! Our photographers Bert Crowfoot and Sandra Crowfoot continue to attend many exciting events throughout Indian Country including potlatches, powwows and festivals.

We'll be posting many of Bert's and Sandra's photos in individual galleries from the various events they attend.

Check back often for the latest photo uploads and new galleries.

Switch Dance - Flying Dust First Nation 2012

Bert Crowfoot was at the Flying Duist First Nation September 2 and captured some great images of dancers celebrating their heritage and culture. One event he captured was the Switch Dance. Dancers dress and compete for prizes dressed in the regalia of their opposite gender. So you have men dancing  the women's categories and women dancing the men's categories. It's about lightening it up a bit, relaxing, having fun and laughing at ourselves...
