Clearing of traditional site for Treaty 5 Centennial Commemoration underway

The development of the site for the Treaty 5 Centennial Commemoration began today. 

The clearing of the site, located in the Ghost Point area, will host the historical 100-year commemoration event in June 2010.

The site, condensed with trees and bush, is located behind the grounds that is home to many community events, including the annual Muddy Water Music Festival and Treaty Days.

Community elders blessed the site and offered prayers yesterday.
