Jade states, “I ran for the title of Senior Princess to represent my First Nation where I am very proud to come from. I wear my title with pride and am honoured to represent our Youth and Nation Members in the Pow wow circle. I am not only a powwow dancer but I am very athletic and love to play sports. My favourite sports are Volleyball, Softball, Cross Country running and track & field. I also enjoy putting on makeup, doing tiktok dances, and hanging with my best friends and cousins. I encourage all of our Youth to get involved in Pow wow and sports and to do what they love. ”
