Sharing Our Voices to Heal 2026 🤍 “Sometimes the most powerful healing comes in moments of shared laughter.” A couple of weeks ago, I had the honour of co-emceeing my first conference. This three-day gathering was incredibly powerful, filled with speakers sharing stories of strength, resilience, and healing. Through this event, I found myself reflecting deeply and even shared part of my own story about the loss of my mom. I am truly so honoured to have been part of such a beautiful event. So many laughs, tears, and powerful moments were shared. Thank you to the Prince Albert Indian & Métis Friendship Centre for all the hard work that went into organizing this event. A special thank you to Jennifer Sanderson and @nicolelona for putting so much care and dedication into bringing this gathering to life. And thank you to my amazing fellow emcee, @dakotahenryjack . Your talent is truly a privilege to learn from. I’ll be sharing a video documenting this beautiful event soon.🫶🏻 📸 Credits to the amazing: @liyahekko

One of the coolest experiences yet. A while back I was gifted the opportunity to try Men’s Fancy Dance. One of the contemporary styles I’ve always enjoyed watching when spending time with my Indigenous relations at pow wows, or specific events. I also got to rock in a Fancy Dancer Champions Regalia (outfit) @patrickmitsuing My buddy @notoriouscree was there to hype me up. So of course I felt I needed to dance as best I could honouring the movements, steps, and directions of the dance while still incorporating some “b-boying”. Such an intense feeling dancing to the beat of the drum - a beat where the thoughts of many of the Indigenous Youth I’ve crossed path with I was conscious of them as I was dancing. As someone who is indigenous from waters outside of Turtle Island /North America I cannot help but feel the love, and support that people were expressing while pre, present, and post dance especially from other dancers, elders, and my friends at the venue. I always knew dance was healing, and from many of the other teachings that we dance to heal, for those who are no longer here, or sick this one was for you. It was an intense experience, that left me feeling full, and inspired. Maybe this can be a style I pursue, and of course I’d want to honour and go through the channels for protocol if I ever do commit. I LOVE to move, and this was beyond what I could of comprehending before actually doing it. I definitely felt free, maybe a little bit Cree but my Filipino brown skin was shining in this regalia!! #inspiration #bboy #mensfancydancer #unity #love #balance

A traveller’s guide to learning through Indigenous tourism experiences in Alberta. With Orange Shift Day approaching on September 30th, it’s a time to reflect on how you can be a better traveller and ally. This guide highlights 8 incredible Indigenous-led experiences across Alberta, each one offering a chance to learn, connect, and deepen your understanding of the cultures and stories that have shaped this land for generations. We invite you to save and share this guide with your family and friends, not just this week, but all year-around. Most importantly, we invite you to book and visit these Indigenous experiences, because reconciliation begins with truth, and the most meaningful way to honour that truth is to show up, listen and learn. #OrangeShirtDay #IndigenousAlberta #NationalDayForTruthAndReconciliation #NDTR

Evie has been asking to dance boys fancy bustle over the past while and the stars aligned for her when a set became available from one of the bro’s! She spent the day dancing and practicing with the new gear so we will give her that opportunity to try something new while still dancing old style jingle! Thanks to @patrickmitsuing for making this a reality for our sweet girl!

To wrap up this journey, I want to take you home. Welcome to Loon Lake, Saskatchewan and Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation—the land that raised me. 
This is where I spent countless summer days swimming, playing, and laughing with family and friends. These lakes aren’t just beautiful—they hold memories, stories, and spirit. We made a stop at one of my all-time favourite spots, the Dairy Bar, for some good eats and even better nostalgia. Then we visited Steele Narrows, a place of deep history. It’s where we teach our kids, share our truths, and honour our ancestors. I dropped tobacco today—just as my parents taught me—to give thanks and remember those who came before. Whether you’re here to camp, hike, swim, take out the boat, or play a round of golf—this land has a way of helping you slow down, reflect, and reconnect. Thank you for following along during my Saskatchewanderer takeover. It’s been an honour to share my journey, my culture, and my home with you. 🌎 If you want to keep traveling with me, follow @PowwowTimes as I continue to explore the world, one story at a time. #Saskatchewanderer #LoonLakeSK #MakwaSahgaiehcan #SteeleNarrows #IndigenousLand #CulturalConnection #PowwowTimes #ExploreSaskatchewan

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about powwow—what it is, how to attend, and what it means. So today, I want to share something special with you. I recently visited the Onion Lake Powwow, one of the most powerful and beautiful gatherings of culture, community, and tradition you’ll ever witness. And in this video, I go a little deeper—answering the biggest questions I’ve been getting about powwow: 
 🪶 Who can attend?
 🪶 What do the dances mean? 
 🪶 How do you respectfully take part? Whether it’s your first powwow or your fiftieth, there’s always something to learn—and something that will move you. 🎉 Mark your calendar: Onion Lake Powwow returns this summer, July 18–20, 2025. You’ll want to experience it for yourself. Come with an open heart. Come ready to feel the drum. #Saskatchewanderer #OnionLakePowwow #PowwowCulture #IndigenousVoices #RespectTheCircle #CulturalLearning #ExploreSaskatchewan #PowwowTrail2025

Some days, you just need to slow down and take it all in. I started my day at King Hill Lookout in North Battleford—standing above the city with the North Saskatchewan River winding through the land below. It’s the kind of place that gives you space to breathe, reflect, and just be. Then I made my way down to the riverbank to think about the things I’m grateful for—my family, my culture, and the chance to explore places like this and share them with all of you. But the day doesn’t stop there. Just a short drive away is Easton’s Place—a local gem built for families and fun. You’ll find: 
 🏐 Outdoor volleyball courts 
 🍔 A bannock burger & fries worth driving for
 🏌️‍♂️ A relaxing driving range
 🍦 And some of the best ice cream creations around North Battleford has a way of balancing peace and play. If you’re looking for a quick adventure that feeds your spirit and your appetite, this is it. #Saskatchewanderer #NorthBattleford #EastonsPlace #GratitudeOnTheLand #ExploreSask #HiddenGemsSK #SaskatchewanSummer

Come with me to a Powwow – one of the most vibrant cultural experiences in all of Saskatchewan. Powwow is more than just dancing and drumming—it’s a celebration of Indigenous identity, resilience, and joy. Here in Saskatchewan, powwow culture is alive and thriving in nearly every corner of the province all summer long. This weekend, I joined dancers and singers in Saskatoon to witness the beauty, athleticism, and spirit of powwow firsthand—and let me tell you, there’s nothing like hearing that first heartbeat of the drum. 🪶 If you’ve never been to a powwow before, this is your sign. Mark your calendar for the Dakota Dunes Powwow happening at the SaskTel Centre, August 30–September 1. You’ll see the best dancers from across North America, experience the songs, and taste the food (yes, definitely try the bannock tacos). Let’s wander together—and take part in something powerful. #Saskatchewanderer #PowwowSeason #DakotaDunesPowwow #ExploreSaskatchewan #IndigenousCulture #SummerInSask #PowwowTrail #SaskTelCentre

Tân’si! I’m Patrick Mitsuing (@patrickmitsuing ), and I’m taking over the Saskatchewanderer page this week for a journey you won’t forget. As a powwow dancer, storyteller, and proud son of Loon Lake, I’m here to show you Saskatchewan through a different lens—one full of culture, adventure, and those hidden gems locals love. Over the next few days, I’ll take you: 🌾 To a vibrant powwow in Saskatoon and invite you to the Dakota Dunes Powwow this August—an experience like no other.

 🏞️ And finally, to my hometown of Loon Lake, where we explore the sacred grounds of Steele Narrows, fish our peaceful lakes, and grab a treat at the Dairy Bar. This is your invitation to head north with me, take the scenic route, and experience the beauty, culture, and community of Saskatchewan.
