There's the finish line. A sporting salute to the two hundred years of northern life carries on with the events of backpacking, log-chopping and bannock baking. The three day winter festival does not dwell on the past alone. Snowmobile races, bingos, dances, curling and special events for the children. Finally dusk falls on Sunday evening.
People retire to warm houses for smaller, more private celebrations.
Time now has come to begin planning for the official celebration in July. Summer has come again to Sakitawak. The rivers flow strongly and mighty. Still the beaver, the muskrat, the moose and the fish find nourishment in these northern waters. Sakitawak is the past alive and the home of today, as well as the hope of tomorrow for it's Metis people.
