Wearing his regalia adorned with beads, feathers and embroidery, Preston Cleveland performed the Prairie Chicken Dance to the beat of four drummers.

He danced before an audience gathered on June 20 in the Brodie Centre atrium to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day. The event was hosted by Ongomiizwin – Indigenous Institute of Health and Healing in the Rady Faculty.

Cleveland, whose traditional name is White Cloud, shared the stage with the Sons of the Drum group and dancers who performed different styles of dance, including Jingle Dress and the Woodland Strap Dress, also known as the Grandmother Dress. Cleveland said these dance styles are ancient.
