This weekend’s Whitecaps game celebrates Indigenous History Month
In recognition of Indigenous History Month, the Vancouver Whitecaps is hosting its annual Indigenous Peoples Celebration Match this weekend (June 29) with performances from Indigenous-owned label Land Back Records.
Starting with pre-match festivities, Niik George of the Tsleil-Waututh nation will be at the Terry Fox Plaza showcasing traditional drumming with various emerging talent and youth performances, including Pîsim SB, Dem Rosé Boys, Kadence, and $ Bake.
Inside BC Place, singer-songwriter Hayley Wallis will be onsite for a marquee performance and the national anthem. During half-time, attendees will take in the traditional drumming and singing from Casey Desjarlais and Rayanna Seymour, a medley from Dakota Bear, and the talents of Eli Gosselin-Rattlesnake—recognized as the world’s tallest hoop dancer.
Of course, there will also be soccer: the hometown boys will face off against St. Louis City SC.
