PRINCE ALBERT INDIAN METIS FRIENDSHIP CENTRE
7th ANNUAL POWWOW
Traditionally, the powwow has always been a means of calling together a group of indigenous people and the reasons for holding such an event are as varied as the tribes themselves. The word powwow comes from the Algonquian language and is associated with dreams or spirits.
Not surprisingly, many of the early ceremonies were of a religious nature, prayers, song and dance to ward off sickness and evil, or to give strength, uniting the community in mind and spirit. The powwow is also an exuberant celebration of life, marking important events such as renewed friendships, passage to adulthood, peace and prosperity.
A traditional powwow could continue for many days, and the early settlers feared them as signs of war. So great was this fear that for years government agencies banned powwows and dancing on all reserves throughout North America.
The modern reappearance of the powwow, open to Indian and Non-Indian People, focuses on the free, unrestricted pleasures of dancing as a means of self expression and cultural heritage. For more than 30 years, the IMFC has been active in promoting the traditions and culture of Indian People while generating peace, harmony and understanding. IMFC is happy to invite everyone to the 7th Annual powwow, that combines all thetraditional elements; the religious ceremonies, the bonds of friendship and the oldest tradition in the world, dancing. - Let us now dance together, and as each dance must begin and end with the heart, so will mankind be united in mind and spirit.-

TRADITIONAL PARADE: Wednesday August 10th - 11:00am Downtown.

Service Clubs and Associations:
THE PRINCE ALBERT HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY
held its first meeting on March 27th 1930 in the old City Hall (today's Arts Centre) to organize a Horticultural Show in August of that year. While the activity of the Society has centred around the annual August Horticultural Show, in 1937/38 the Horticultural Society was fundamental in establishing a permanent City Parks Board. Today, the main theme is still the August Horticultural show but Society members also enjoy getting together to share their gardening experience or to listen to experts brought in for the occasion. Meetings are held at the J. M. Cuelenaere Library on the 4th Tuesday of every month except July, August and December. Enthusiasm and a desire to make things grow are the only basic prerequisites for membership in the Society. New members, whether experienced or novice gardeners, are always welcome. Anyone requiring more information about the Society or gardening, may contact Margaret Morgan 763-5386 or William Archibald 922-2528.
