YORKTON - As part of Culture Days, the Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society is holding a series of Indigenous teaching events.

The first of these events was a drum group and traditional song and dance demonstration.

Larry Pearen, a member of the Mill committee said that they were really pleased with the opening event.

"The theme is to have a gathering place for all different cultures and activities. As we host different events we are having trying to attract different parts of our cultural activities and a chance for us to share things, and learn from each other."

Four more events are scheduled with:

Treaty 4 Bingo with Lynn Cote on Tuesday, October 5

Beading Workshop with Margaret Brass on Tuesday, October 12

Importance of picking herbs, sage, and sweetgrass braiding on Tuesday, October 19
