FNMI EVENT ATTENDED1
Name of Event and Location
I attended the famous Powwow festival in Toronto during the month of April in 2019.
Date Attended
It was a three-day long festival that started from 25th April and continued till the 27th
(powwows.com, 2020).
Topic of the Event
It was held by several Native communities of America and hosted by Na-Me-Res in
recognition of the Summer Solstice and National Aboriginal Day. The event focused on a social
gathering of thousands of people who participated in the celebration and enjoy traditional food
items at the same time. More than a hundred drummers performed along with dancers and
singers. The event comprised of mainly dance competitions where one could perform a range of
traditional dances and music. I also had the opportunity to meet the crafters and sellers of First
Nations, explore the information kiosks as well as take part in several giveaways and activities
(nameres.org, 2020).
Name and Details of the Presenters
The planning of this grand festival begins almost a year before the event. The Powwow
committee is a group of individuals who organizes this event with the help of sponsors from
different areas who can offer insurance, startup funds and free volunteers. These sponsors can be
a college, a tribe or any organization or even a member of the committee. The other presenters of
this event included the head staff, who runs the event; the arena director, who is the person in
charge for the organization of all kinds of activities held in the event; and the MC or Master of
