This year, Chinook Blast welcomed Authentically Indigenous, which hosted the Winter Frost: Indigenous Market.
The market featured more than 40 vendors and powwow dances throughout the night, celebrating Indigenous culture in Mohkinstsis.
Vendors showcased and sold a variety of work, including beadwork, paintings, and pottery.
Performers included Julia Whiteman and Alexa Whiteman, who captivated the crowd with their colourful regalia and traditional dances.
The event ran from 4 to 9 p.m. from Feb. 6 to 8.
