Every year at Opaskwayak Indigenous Days (OID) many are eager to win or be gifted one of the traditional leather vests that commemorates the event in the community. These vests are made by Indigenous artists, and this year was a collaboration of two extremely talented and local ones.
“Shauna Ponask and I submitted a bid for the vests and we were selected to do them,” said Tyler Tobacco. “She’s a big part of the whole process too, and a great artist as well.”
