Caldwell Pow Wow celebrates unity, strength, resilience
By Deanna Bertrand The two-day Competition Pow Wow held by Caldwell First Nation August 9 and 10 included many dancers, singers, drummers and various food and craft vendors on the Caldwell First Nation Reserve located on Mersea Road 1. “As Anishinaabe people, it is our custom and sacred responsibility to welcome guests into our territory with warmth, respect and kindness,” Caldwell First Nation Chief Nikki Van Oirschot said to the large crowd gathered Saturday afternoon under the main tent to watch the Grand Entry. “Our Pow Wow is a time to gather, to celebrate and to share the beauty and strength of who we are with all nations, First Nations, and nonFirst Nations alike. Whether you have travelled from near or far, we welcome you in friendship and unity.” “Our last Pow Wow, the Repatriation Pow Wow in 2016, marked a homecoming for our people after generations and approximately 220 years of displacement, “ she said.
