Student team wins silver medal during Indigenous hand games tournament
Ten Bow Valley College students registered to compete in a traditional Indigenous hand games tournament and gather in community to celebrate the festivities organized by Aboriginal Awareness Week Calgary.
The Iniikokaan Centre student team was one of six teams who entered in the Family Day and Pow Wow at the Calgary Stampede Grounds on June 25.
The team participated in this just-for-fun tournament's final match after a day of games filled with song and laughter, ultimately achieving a second-place spot and a silver medal. The students had so much fun, they continued to play on their own accord hours after the competition had ended.
