Mitsuing educating people through Indigenous dances – SaskToday.ca

Indigenous performer Patrick Mitsuing looks to pass on their culture and traditions.

SASKATOON — Patrick Mitsuing wants to educate everyone — Indigenous and non-Indigenous — on the history and traditions of First Nations Peoples. He hopes his last month’s historic Super Bowl performance would open up more conversations about their culture, especially the dances their ancestors had passed on to individual performers like him.

Mitsuing, a former track and field athlete, said he had been a performer for the last 30 years and he looks forward to people asking and learning more about the history of Indigenous Peoples in the country.

“[Hopefully] more people are going to ask more questions about Indigenous People, learn more about their histories, we will have more presentations at big events like the Super Bowl and get further along with the process of Truth and Reconciliation,” Mitsuing told SASKTODAY.ca.
