Hello on behalf of the Indigenous Strong Powwow set for Oct. 6 to 8, held in Lil’wat Nation, B.C., I. R. No. 10.

This powwow is a fun family event, hosted by Lil’wat Nation volunteers, and it’s held every year on Thanksgiving weekend. It is open to all public and nationalities.

There will be hand drumming, dancing in beautiful regalia, food, vendors with amazing crafts, 50/50 draws and other fundraising activities.

We provide a brunch on Saturday and Sunday, and suppers for both days also, with a turkey dinner on Sunday.

The powwow starts on Friday night from 7 p.m. til’ 11 p.m.-ish. On Saturday and Sunday, Grand Entry is at 1 p.m., followed by a supper break at 5 p.m. and then another Grand Entry at 7 p.m.

We are seeking donations for this spectacular event. If you would like to sell your products, to be a vendor please contact me via email [email protected], text 604-967-2499, or on Facebook @CinaMon Jonz.

Our powwow is to recognize and honour the survivors of the Indian Residential Schools and their families. Our colour is orange, and we celebrate our strengths in a positive, non-alcoholic event.

Kukwstumkacw, thank you.
