The Town of Strathmore and Siksika Nation hosted the first Lead By Example Powwow this weekend in honour of a young Indigenous man who was shot to death four years ago.
Family of Kristian Ayoungman describe him as a talented powwow dancer and hockey player whose life ended far too soon.“He was just happy, hard-working and very smart. He was one of the First Nation’s finest gentleman.”
“This just goes to show the impact that he’s made on everyone. He’s touched someone in some way,” Ayoungman-Hunt said.Hundreds gathered in Strathmore at the Lead by Example Powwow to celebrate Kristian Ayoungman’s life . “We are part of the reconciliation process across this country, and we want to do our part to make things better for our Siksika friends and neighbours when they come into Strathmore,” Mayor Pat Fule said.
Two Strathmore brothers, Brandon and Kody Giffen were convicted of manslaughter in Ayoungman’s death after initially being charged with first-degree murder.“The way my boy’s life was taken, it was wrong. The way the justice system gave that verdict, to me, it’s wrong,” Ayoungman-Hunt said.
