Many little beauties in Akwesasne made their way out to the Tsi Snaihne Recreation, dressed to impress, to be a part of the Miss Akwesasne Beauty Pageant. Organized by Creeations Hair Studio; with the hard work of Lauren Cree, Tanisha Thompson and Krystian Mitchell, the event was a complete success.
"I was really happy with how the Miss Akwesasne Beauty Pageant went. Contestants and parents did a great job! It was nice to bring the pageant back to the Akwesasne Winter Carnival this year. Thanks to the community for the packed house!"
Although only one contestant would walk away with the title of "Miss Akwesasne", many young women also walked away with a sense of confidence and increased self-esteem.
