Seed to Spirit powwow
We warmly invite you to our Seed to Spirit powwow, celebrating Wabanaki communities and 10 years of nibezun.
This first ever powwow at nibezun is taking place on the weekend of September 19th.
Open to all– powwows are vibrant cultural gatherings that bring Indigenous communities and allied communities together to honor and celebrate Indigenous traditions, communities, art, music, dance, food, and intergenerational connection.
We strive to create a welcoming space where culture is shared, relationships are strengthened, and traditions continue to thrive for future generations.
