Over three years ago, Donald MacDonald from the Onion Lake Cree Nation made a $5 purchase at a thrift store that would change his life forever. He bought a hand puppet at a secondhand shop in Saskatoon. After adding some braids and red bandana and some magic marker tattoos, Emery Burningrass was born. Emery has since become an internet sensation, earning a following of just shy of 40,000 people on his Facebook page. Since then, Emery and MacDonald traveled all over Canada and in the United States and played over 280 shows. Their travels continued to Prince Albert on Saturday, where Emery and MacDonald cohosted the All in this Together virtual gathering alongside master of ceremonies, Cal Arcand.
