#Mawiomi of Tribes

"Each year, on the third weekend in August, the #MikmaqNation celebrates the #Mawiomi of Tribes which is dedicated to all people of #MotherEarth. The word 'Mawiomi' is derived from the Mi'kmaq language meaning 'Gathering.' The event is intended to showcase the beauty, strength, spirit and endurance of the Mi'kmaq culture and tradition.

"Pow-wows have changed over the years; In the early times, hunters would invite their friends and relatives to share their good fortune. As time went on, while the meal was being prepared, relatives would dance to honor their host. Eventually, dancing became the main focus of the event. Participants began to use this time to display their weaving, craft-work, and other finery. Pow-wows also had religious significance; they were an opportunity for families to hold naming and honor ceremonies."

"Today, Pow-wows or celebrations, are very much a part of the lives of many Native Americans. It is a gathering where dancing, singing, and celebrations takes place. Pow-wows bring the circle of people closer to their family, friends, and Native American culture. The 29th Annual Mawiomi of Tribes is an excellent opportunity for the Mik'maq communities to share that culture with the surroundings communities, and to host Native people from other areas. Come immerse yourself in the sights, the sounds, the history, and the present of a vibrant culture!
