ATTENDING THE POWWOW

Here's a couple helpful tips to make you feel comfortable if it's your first time attending a pow wow:

  • The First Nations University of Canada Spring Powwow Celebration is one of the largest pow wows in Western Canada with close to 10,000 who attend.

  • The powwow is open to any and everyone. We love when non-indigenous people join us.

  • A powwow is simply a celebration - it's not a ceremony so you can be at ease.

  • Wear whatever you'd like - there is no dress code for attendees.

  • There is a dancing, singing, and drumming competition with amazing prizes for those competing.

  • There is a tradeshow on with some incredible products some bring some shopping money.
