ONWA 4th Annual MMIW Pow Wow

This past weekend, one of my favourite and most important events took place. It was the ONWA 4th Annual MMIW Pow Wow. It’s a traditional Pow Wow honouring missing and murdered indigenous women and girls. To be able to be a part of such a meaningful cause is so rewarding. Not only did I get to photograph some amazing dancers and festivities, but in doing so, I am helping to bring awareness.

There were a lot of people at this years event which is no surprise. With drum groups, dancers, throat singers and of course delicious food, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon with friends and family. The weather was absolutely perfect too which made the whole event that much better. Along with photos, I captured a lot of video so stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.
