"We welcome everyone."

Lita Isaac, Mi'qmaq

Pow Wows are Indigenous gatherings. They celebrate both the heritage of the ancestors and the vitality of current generations. For members of communities who had to move, they provide an opportunity for them to come together and return to their roots. They also offer the ever-growing general public an immersion in the cultures of First Peoples through food, dances, songs, drums and craft stands. Through these celebrations, which bring them great pride, they create bonds in a spirit of affirmation and openness. Everyone who participates wants to come back!
