Saskatoon festival sharing culture through performance

Aboriginal musicians are on the stage in Saskatoon for the Saskatchewan World Indigenous Festival for the Arts (SWIFFA).

The two-day event started on Wednesday at the gardens of the Delta Bessborough, featuring both local talent and performers from Africa, New Zealand, Australia and the U.S.

The festival aims to give musicians a chance to perform in front of an audience as a way of sharing their culture. It also looks to offer an intercultural exchange between countries.

SWIFFA is being held in conjunction with the World Indigenous Business Forum 2016.

The festival continues through Thursday with performers taking the stage from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. CST.
