Powwow! Ohcîwin The Origins Oh-cÎ-win: Ooo-chi-win, Cree 1. “The Origin” or telling of a story of where something originated Powwows are Indigenous cultural celebrations where many forms of dance styles are performed as part of the ceremony. These social gatherings, held across North America, bring people together to sing, dance and share teachings all while celebrating Indigenous culture. Each dance style has a meaning or origin story and a specific purpose. Regalia, the distinctive clothing and ornamentation worn by the dancers, corresponds to the different dance styles.
Powwow! OchÎwin the Origins was created by Patrick and Marrisa Mitsuing of Powwow Times. Working with a diverse team of Indigenous Artists they assembled each of the individual dance regalia on display. During the 2019 and 2020 Powwow season, they met with knowledge keepers across North America to record the origin stories of the dances they perform.
The dances are: Men’s Traditional, Men’s Fancy, Men’s Chicken, Men’s Grass, Women’s Traditional, Women’s Fancy and Women’s Jingle.

Missing children and the existence of unmarked burial sites at Residential Schools …
Missing children and the existence of unmarked burial sites at Residential Schools across Canada have been well-known for decades among Indigenous communities. However, Canadians are still grappling with the truths about Residential Schools, spurring long-overdue conversations inside and outside the classroom.
Remembering the Children, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation’s publication for students, offers a way to begin those conversations. It takes readers to a variety of Residential Schools across time and space, opening a door into a past that reverberates today, while also celebrating the resilience and resurgence of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples’ culture.
The publication Remembering the Children and this complementary educator’s guide were designed …
The publication Remembering the Children and this complementary educator’s guide were designed to help students achieve the following goals: • gain a more complex understanding of the history and reality of residential schools in Canada, recognizing that children who attended Residential Schools, day schools, industrial schools and boarding schools had their own unique experiences and that these experiences varied across the country and across time • gain an appreciation for Indigenous knowledge and the diversity of traditional cultures, languages and teachings of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities • understand the depth of loss that occurred as a result of the Residential School system • learn about contemporary people and organizations who are engaged in cultural revitalization efforts • understand that they have an individual and collective role in reconciliation Students and teachers all over Canada will be at different stages of learning. We hope that the Remembering the Children publication and educator’s guide provide you with content, resources, voices and ideas so that you can continue these important conversations all year long. With appreciation to all educators who are taking on this important work
