Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival
We are very excited to be sponsoring the 2021 Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival!
Know History is sponsoring the Traditional Knowledge segments featured during the International Pow Wow Competition, and the Family Cultural Connections Program!
International Pow Wow Competition
The SSIF International Pow Wow Competition brings together hundreds of dancers from stunning locations across North America to compete for $30,000 in prize money!
Find out more about the competition here.
We’ll be posting our historical trivia questions both on our Facebook page and in the Social Distance Pow Wow Facebook Group. Answer the questions correctly for your chance to win a Limited Edition Know Indigenous History ballcap!
Family Cultural Connections
Fun for the whole family! Bring the whole community together with activities for all ages. Watch a movie, play bingo, enter a colouring contest, meet the Ojibwe Spirit Horses or take in a performance from the Kehewin Native Dance Theatre! Find out more about the program here.
The Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival runs until Indigenous Peoples Day on June 21! All events are social distance friendly, and available on demand until June 30. Find out more on the Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival Website!
