About the South Island Powwow

September 30th marks National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

The annual South Island Powwow is an opportunity to recognize Survivors and their families in the spirit of reconciliation. Through song dance, and education, we will celebrate traditional Indigenous cultures and resiliency.

Local First Nations, along with Nations from the Mainland, have been welcomed to join us on this day to celebrate in our time-honoured Powwow.

Two successful events now have been hosted by the Songhees Nation beginning in 2022. In 2022, the Powwow brought 10,000, and in 2023, 17,000 people together to witness Indigenous resiliency to stand together on Orange Shirt Day.
