Indigenous teens performing Jingle Dress Dances for COVID-19 patients receive gift for efforts

Two local Indigenous teenagers are being rewarded for their efforts to help family and community members recover from COVID-19 while being in the hospital.

Seventeen-year-old Meadow Musqua and her friend Kiana Francis have been sending their prayers through traditional healing Jingle Dress Dances they’ve been performing on the lawn of the Regina General Hospital, every evening at 6 p.m., for the past two weeks.

Musqua’s mom does a Facebook Live of the dances so that those inside the hospital and others can watch as they dance. Some patients at the hospital even come outside to watch if they can.

The teens are dancing for Musqua’s Kokum (grandmother) and others as they were recovering from COVID.
