Edward Kytwayhat

Edward was born April 10, 1956 along with his twin, Robert, to David Jimmy and Josephine Kytwayhat at Loon Lake, SK.  Edward was a father, moshum, uncle and friend to many.  He was deeply committed to traditional ceremonies; he was a sundancer, ceremonial helper and pipeman in many ceremonies and lodges.   Edward hunted and supplied food for ceremonial people.  He supplied wood to the lodges in many communities for lodge-keepers.  He helped at cultural camps.  He attended twin round dances and pow wows. Edward handcrafted ceremonial pipes, hand drums, and rattles.  He also made hides.  Ceremonial lodge-keepers would seek his skill in these areas.  Edward's friendly, easy-going manner made him approachable to many.  He had an infectious sense of humour and always helped those in need. He was known as a sugar taxi.  Edward loved his hockey and football games, and he travelled to cities to watch live hockey games.  As a side activity he went to bingos, and he always had time to chat with others.
