OTTAWA — Former Mississauga #8 Chief Bob Chiblow and Indigenous chef Shawn Adler are featured in APTN’s new series Pow Wow Chow, which has its world premiere on May 7. Produced by InterINDigital Entertainment and SandBay for APTN, the English version of the 30-minute documentary airs at 7:30 p.m. ET and the Anishinaabemowin version airs at 9 p.m. ET. The 13-episode series will also be available on APTN Lumi beginning May 1 at: aptnlumi.ca.
“For the last couple of seasons, they’ve been following us around the pow wow trail and it was a great experience,” says Chiblow, owner of Chiblow Fish. “This is more of a [docuseries] because there’s no acting, what you see is what you get. It was a lot of fun.”
Chiblow says the film crew followed his journey to eight pow wows where he prepared and sold his fish and chips meals.
“May 7 is episode one — that was our pow wow we did,” Chiblow says. “That shoot was four days, they shot me in my [Chief’s] office at the band office and we toured the community so it’ll be interesting to see when it comes out because I’ve never seen it.”
