Weechi-it-te-win Family Services, along with our Drum, Maango-Inini and his Singers, were honoured to attend the Pow Wows as an invited drum at St. Mary School and Fort Frances High School this week.

It was great to see the youth dancing to the songs sung by the Singers and celebrating Anishinaabe culture with pride.

Miigwech to everyone who helped make these special cultural events possible!
