There are many places that non-Indigenous people are invited to listen, learn and participate in face-to-face ways with the Indigenous community. Pow Wows are an excellent starting place for non-Indigenous people who want to start a journey of putting listening into action. There are many Pow Wows across Ontario every year and, though many are outdoors in the summer, some are held inside in all seasons. Many people often go to several a year – an experience known as hitting the Pow Wow Trail.
All nations are welcome to celebrate and enjoy the beautiful and powerful experience of pow wows from music, dance, regalia, food, culture and ceremony. Often non-Indigenous people might feel a bit shy about going alone for the first time or doing the wrong thing, but Ontario's Indigenous Neighbours team is here to help make this a little easier.
MCC Ontario’s Indigenous Neighbours team is hosting two opportunities to learn what to expect and to ask questions.
- Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025 from 2:00-3:00pm
- Wednesday June 4th, 2025 from 7:00-8:00pm
Learn the basics on what to expect and how to participate, and then plan to attend a Pow Wow or two near you this summer/fall by checking out the Pow Wow calendar.
