A man from the Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation in Saskatchewan is taking his talents to one of the biggest stages in the world.

Patrick Mitsuing will help to shine a spotlight on Indigenous culture as he performs at Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

"I hope to inspire a lot of the younger generation to keep thriving and keep learning their culture, and knowing that who we are could take us to these awesome places like the Super Bowl," he said.

When Mitsuing enters State Farm Stadium on Sunday, he will be only one part of a programme that acknowledges Indigenous people. For the first time in 56 Super Bowls, the NFL will recognize the Indigenous land that the games takes place on.
