The Kawacatoose First Nation Disaster Relief and Rebuild concert is tomorrow in Regina.

 

The concert features Crystal Shawanda, Hugh Poorman, C-Weed, Errol Kinistino and several other Aboriginal performers.

 

The reserve was hit by a tornado on July 2nd, damaging and destroying several homes.

 

Chief Darin Poorman says the band is continuing rebuild efforts and is accountable to all its donors.

 

Poorman says the community has received $212,000 in financial contributions — but is short funding required to rebuild homes.

 

The concert starts at noon at the First Nations University of Canada campus.

 

Shawanda is scheduled to perform at 6:00 p.m.
