Traditional Indigenous powwow comes to Burnaby Mountain

When you walk into the West Gym on Simon Fraser University campus at noon on April 22, expect to bask in an electric atmosphere with the sound of drums filling the air as the crowd gathers for a traditional powwow ceremony, hosted for the first time by students at SFU.

“We wanted that opportunity to have a public event where we can build bridges between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous community, and show the amazing work that's being done by Indigenous students,” Kali said. The sisters said while powwows ceremonies are not traditional to the West Coast, they were able to work along with the host nations of the territories in the west to organize this event.
