Pow-Wow and Indigenous Festivals

Pow-Wow-et-Festivals-Autochtones Artisanat Autochtone




We are honored to showcase our products at booths during various cultural events, including Pow-Wows in Indigenous communities and prestigious festivals such as the Innu Nikamu Festival.

PRESENCE AT POW-WOWS

Pow-Wows are vibrant and dynamic gatherings where Indigenous peoples come together to celebrate their culture through dance, music, and crafts. At these events, we set up our booth to showcase and sell our creations, such as dreamcatchers, dance and ceremonial staffs, and other items carefully crafted by Dave Verreault-Thisselmagan. These gatherings provide an opportunity to meet people from different communities, exchange ideas about our traditions, and share the story behind each piece we create.

INNU NIKAMU FESTIVAL

The Innu Nikamu Festival is a major cultural event held annually, bringing together Indigenous artisans, musicians, and dancers from across Canada. We recently participated, showcasing our products in a festive and tradition-rich setting. This festival allows us to highlight the meticulous work of Dave Verreault-Thisselmagan and to introduce the public to the beauty and authenticity of our craftsmanship. Visitors have the opportunity to see up close the natural materials we use, such as moose leather and natural feathers, and to understand the creative process behind each item.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE EVENTS

Participating in these events is particularly important to us, as they allow us not only to promote our art, but also to contribute to the preservation and appreciation of cultural heritage. Each encounter, each exchange is an opportunity to raise public awareness of the richness of indigenous traditions and to inspire a deeper appreciation for authentic craftsmanship.

We invite you to come and meet us at these events, discover our products, and learn more about the history and traditional techniques that make them unique. Your support helps to perpetuate ancestral know-how and keep the culture alive within the community.
