Nand games, food Saddle Lake Powwow kicks off season To many minds, the annual Saddle Lake Powwow kicks off the entire Indian Days and powwow season. The event took place on June 26, 27 and 28 under sunny skies. It's estimated that approximately 3,000 people attended the powwow, coming from as far away as Montana and Saskatchewan. "It's just a great powwow!" one bystander told Windspeaker. "It's a joyous occasion...the kids are out of school...a lot of people start coming out to show off the costumes they've been working on all summer...everyone's just really happy." The traditional setting of the Saddle Lake powwow helps to draw people. All dancing and the give -away take place outdoors in a huge circle. Above the spectator stands is a "canopy" or arbour of cut trees, which contribute to the beautifully green and "natural" atmosphere of the powwow.
