Pow-wows are considered both a sacred and social event by traditional Anishnabe families. It is a time to renew our ties with the beliefs and traditions of our ancestors. It also is a time to enjoy the company of family and friends both new and old. This is the one real opportunity that most people have to see Anishnabe traditions in action!
We do not charge for admission, parking or camping space. In addition to viewing and participating in the dances, visitors can browse through art, craft, souvenir, and food booths.
