St. Mary’s Oskayak Song and Dance Troupe has performed across Canada including summer tours to Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. They have performed for conferences and gatherings like Western Provinces’ 4H Programme, SIFMC Awards Banquet, National Wrestling Championship, AFN National Health Conference and numerous other events. Their dance styles range from Pow-Wow: traditional, grass, fancy and jingle to Hoop Dancing. Singing, drumming, and jigging are featured as well.
The troupe began in the spring of 1989 as an extra-curricular activity at St. Mary’s Community School, open to all students, and continues to this day. Between 15 to 30 dancers from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade Eight take part each year.
