RRC’s 16th annual powwow is on May 6 in the north gym at the Notre Dame Campus. The event honouring indigenous graduates will include a pipe ceremony and a feast.
CoCo Ray Stevenson, a traditional singer and drummer, will be the master of ceremonies. There will be a special presentation in honour of Ian Hotomani, the former arena director who passed away last November.
