A field normally used for football practice was decorated in bright regalia and powwow dancing Wednesday.

Hundreds gathered at Centennial Collegiate in Saskatoon for the 1st Annual Welcome Back Powow.

Drummers, singers and dancers from across the province performed throughout the morning.

Teachers who support and advocate for indigenous studies were honoured at the grand entry.

Students were encouraged to ask questions, shake hands and meet new people.
