Lineup - Special Events: Sled Island

Two presenters stand on a wooden‑paneled stage during the 2025 Elder Blessing, Elder Aapi’ohkitopi (Grey Horse Rider) speaks into a microphone while holding a decorated stick, the other holding a hand drum painted with an animal design. Both wear patterned clothing and beadwork, framed by guitars and drums in the background, creating a warm, ceremonial atmosphere.
