Celebrating 10 Years of Community at “Nurturing Our Roots” Pow Wow

Through dances, songs, ceremonies, and stories, the Pow Wow celebrates togetherness, strengthens community ties, and promotes Indigenous heritage, identity, and culture. Over the past decade, Nurturing Our Roots has become a much-loved tradition that draws people of all backgrounds to come together and share in the experience.

As the Pow Wow has grown in popularity, it has welcomed more and more attendees each year. Thanks to the support of the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund (IRF), the Niagara Regional Native Centre is able to continue to host the event with doors open and free to all. Funding helps cover event costs and support the Pow Wow’s mission to be a place of healing for Indigenous people, and foster reconciliation and cultural revitalization.

The Niagara Regional Native Centre has been a community cornerstone since 1974 and has established itself as safe place for more than nine thousand Indigenous Peoples across many areas in the Niagara region. Today, it remains well recognized and deeply respected for the diverse range of programs and services it provides to support mental health, promote cultural preservation, and much more.
