Thousands came out to Enmax Park on Saturday for Aboriginal Awareness Week Calgary’s (AAWC) family day festival and powwow.
“This is our big celebration of the year and we really invite everyone to come out, Indigenous or non-Indigenous,” said Diana Frost, communications director for AAWC.“It’s a part of my healing journey and as an Indigenous person who’s breaking intergenerational trauma,” Woods said.
From traditional hand games to an artisan fair, the event highlights various aspects of Indigenous culture. “All the t-shirts come with a little card kind of explaining the Indigenous meaning … I always say that I’m going to educate the world on our beautiful Indigenous culture one t-shirt at a time,” she said.
“Our Indigenous culture was erased due to residential schools, so basically, I’m just regaining my culture and teaching people at the same time,” she said.
