Corner Brook was a special sight today as celebrations took place as part of National Indigenous Peoples Day. Sherry Dean is a Ward Councillor with Qalipu First Nations and dropped into the station for a chat with Bayfm’s Dean Clarke. She says it kicked off 6 o’clock this morning at Margaret Bowater Park with a sunrise ceremony. Dean says that’s where they gather in a circle and celebrate who we are. The gathering has been taking place for years and everyone sits in nature as the sun comes up with the water, nature, and a sacred fire. Celebrations continued at the Majestic Lawn this morning with craft vendors, drumming, singing, face painting and storytelling for children, and food.
