Flag Raising at Treaty Four

At the Treaty 4 Gathering, most of the people gathered around the flag poles and watched the veterans raise the flags. Flag raising shows respect to our treaty territory. The ceremony was performed each day at the gathering, and was especially powerful on September 15^th, the same day the treaty was signed in 1874. The drummers sang a victory song to show we are proud to have this treaty territory for many years to come. When I was watching the veterans, my experience was great because when the flags were raised, the veterans danced around the flags.
