RLC's 3rd Annual Pow Wow

Spot Dances / Introducing the Men's challenge Dance / Prizes / Vendors / Food / Lots of laughter — Proceeds to benefit the Seven Generations initiative.

Courtney Tabobondung '20 used her Discovery Project as an opportunity to imagine, organize and host RLC's first ever Pow Wow - a now annual event that involves local communities and invites Muskoka region schools and students from all CIS schools.

Details

This event began as a student initiative and it has grown into an annual celebration bringing together members of all of our local and shared communities. This year’s Pow Wow is in honour of Friendship.

Our MC, Diena Bomberry, along with our Head of School, Dave Krocker, welcome you to the campus of Rosseau Lake College, 1967 Bright Street in the Village of Rosseau, on June 7, 2023 from 11:00 - 2:30 pm.

Rodney Stanger and company will be on the Big Drum. Percy Tabobondung is our Head Male Dancer, and Keira Barnhardt is our Head Female Dancer. We are delighted to have the Little Spirit Singers join us as well.

There will be craft vendors, spot dances, potato dance, and prizes. Most importantly there will be lots of laughter. Indigenous food and snacks will be provided for a small donation with proceeds supporting the RLC Seven Generations initiative. To all the men and boys, be prepared and wear some comfy clothes as this year we're introducing the Men's Challenge Dance, and we invite you to challenge yourself.

Pow Wows are social gatherings that honour Turtle Island's heritage. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend. Bring a folding chair and/or a blanket to sit on, and join us in an opportunity to enjoy, participate, and learn.
