Montreal indigenous community gathers to celebrate 16th annual Pow Wow at McGill – McGill Tribune
On Sept. 15, the McGill First People’s House (FPH) hosted the 16th annual Pow Wow on Lower Field. Members of the indigenous community from Montreal and other parts of Canada sang, danced, and socialized with students and families to celebrate to their indigenous culture.
For FPH Administrative Coordinator Dana-Marie Williams, an organizer of this year’s Pow Wow, the event has served as an opportunity for indigenous and non-indigenous students alike to learn about the heritage and network of First Peoples year after year.
“[We want] the students to come enjoy and see the culture, gain experience, and get great food or arts and crafts,” Williams said. “I hope the indigenous students come to see what kind of indigenous organizations are out there. It’s a great place for other indigenous people to come meet friends and family.”
