Evacuees staying in Thunder Bay, Ont., received free shuttle services from hotels to Dilico Anishinabek Family Care's eighth annual powwow in Fort William First Nation, an event promoting togetherness amid a wildfire season that's displaced over 2,800 people from about a dozen communities. "I'm dancing as hard as I can for them," says a grass dancer originally from a First Nation in Manitoba.
