A Powwow is an Indigenous social celebration where community members can gather and enjoy traditional singing and dancing. All community members, including non-Indigenous, are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend and participate in what a Powwow has to offer.
This year's Powwow coincides with Sisters in Spirit Day (Oct. 4). The day honours Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit people. It's a day to remember, raise awareness, and call for justice.
Experiencing a Powwow emphasizes the importance of relationship-building with everyone while providing opportunities to learn more about Indigenous culture and knowledge. The U of T Mississauga Indigenous Centre looks forward to welcoming you to their All-Nations Powwow this fall 2025.
