Kashtin, the Canadian duo of Claude McKenzie and Florent Vollant, rocked the audience with their signature songs in Montagnals, a language spoken by only several hundred people.

The 1993 North American Indigenous Games were a tremendous success, say athletes.

"The games were excellent," said Joan Wolfe, middle on Team Alberta's senior women's soccer team. "Whoever is responsible has done an awesome job."

"And they were smart to choose this city - Prince Albertans have been wonderful hosts."

The city of approximately 33,000 swelled to more than 40,000 with the wave of athletes, support personnel and fans attending the games and cultural events.
