Pow Wow - July 11 and 12th 2026
Powwow time is an opportunity for First Nations Indigenous people to come together, dance, sing, visit, renew old friendships and make new ones. Originally, a powwow, or “party” as it was once called, was held in the spring to welcome new beginnings in life. Often, different tribal nations would come together for the occasion. During these general meetings, Native Americans would settle disputes between different groups, form alliances, and trade with each other. It was also an opportunity for families to organize baptism and tribute ceremonies. The original powwows often had religious significance and therefore consisted of different religious songs and dances. Powwows are open to the general public where neighbors, family and friends come together to share our rich culture. For more information please visit: kahnawaketourism.com
