Patrick Mitsuing is used to performing in front of large crowds.
The Cree dancer from Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation in western Saskatchewan has been travelling along the powwow trail in North America for years gaining awards and followers along the way.
On game day a group of about eight dancers including Mitsuing will be doing three performances outside the stadium to welcome the roughly 70,000 fans attending the game. It's unclear if it will be televised. Lucinda Hinojos, who was born in Glendale and is of Apache and Yaqui descent, became the first Native and Chicana artist to partner with the NFL on Super Bowl theme art. Her designs are featured on all Super Bowl tickets and throughout the NFL Experience. She is also teaming up with Wilson Sporting Goods to release a football with her artwork on it.
Mitsuing, who now lives in Red Deer, Alta., has spent his life and career advocating for the promotion of his Cree culture and language.Recognizing the contributions of Indigenous Peoples is something regularly seen at major sporting events in Canada where the inclusion of land acknowledgments and Indigenous programming are included in many NHL and CFL games, "it's cool we're creating a framework," said Mitsuing.
