With hoop dancers, jingle dancers, a bear dance, traditional dancing and Lahal games, Barkerville Historic Town and Park’s Sixth Annual Indigenous Celebration on July 20 was a spirited showcase of the traditions of the bands in this area.
The event featured dancing, vendors, games, crafts and a presentation on the history of bannock making.
This year’s Indigenous Celebration also marked the launch of a full-time Indigenous interpretive program at Barkerville, which will run from Friday to Monday until the end of September.
