The Chippewas of Georgina Island, our closest neighbouring First Nation and partner in education will once again be hosting their annual pow wow. Pow wows are a gathering and celebration of culture. Visitors are welcome to attend, but it’s important to respect pow wow protocols:
- Do your research before you attend. Pow wows are fun events, but they are also sacred. Learn about the history and significance of pow wows.
- Listen to the MC and follow their instructions. They will guide you on protocol.
- Be respectful at the event.
- Ask before taking photos. There are some times that should not be photographed.
- Pets are not permitted to attend. This community event is also alcohol and drug-free.
- Do not touch a dancer’s regalia. It is not a costume.
- Bring your own chair. Do not sit in someone else’s chair, or a seat reserved for someone else.
- Remember that you are a guest. Have fun and ask questions.
