During this gathering\, Elder Wolfleg will offer wisdom and teachings on the role and importance of names in Blackfoot culture\, as well as the meaning behind the name he is bestowing: Pokitso’wa’ssko. \nThis is a rare opportunity to witness a traditional naming ceremony and honour the connection between land\, language\, and community.
