"The Prince Albert Grand Council (PAGC) is taking part in a culture exchange with an Indigenous group from British Columbia.
This week, youth from the Nisga’a nation are learning about the Indigenous culture in Treaty 6 territory.
Shane Bird, healing on the land coordinator with the PAGC, said they’re going to Batoche to learn about the Metis resistance, Fort Carlton to learn about the fur trade, and Onion Lake to attend a pow wow.
They’re also doing traditional practices, such as medicine picking and drum teachings."
