• With the uncertainty regarding Covid 19 and its' continued affects on large gatherings, the Powwow Committee has no recourse but to cancel the 2020 Akwesasne International Powwow. Our 20th Annual was gearing up to be a proud milestone for our entire community and it brings the Committee no joy in making this declaration.
  We continue to hold the health and wellness of our community and guests as priority number one, and the risks posed this year are just too great to ignore.
  We thank our Powwow family for their understanding.
  Stay safe, stay healthy and we will hope to see you at the Akwesasne Powwow in 2021.
  The Akwesasne International Pow-Wow is held annually in September on the weekend immediately following Labor Day, at the A'nowara'ko:wa Arena on Cornwall Island, Ontario.
  On the shores by the beautiful St. Lawrence River, visitors can enjoy a two day event with good music, good food and good company. The Akwesasne Pow-Wow brings together the best Native artisans, drummers and dancers from this region.

  The pow-wow allows us to join with other First Nations from across Canada and the United States to share in this great gathering, it also allows visitors from many nations to participate in this exciting cultural experience.
  Enjoy and take part in the 'fastest dance on two feet', with our Iroquois Smoke Dancers. This dance got its name back when the people would dance around the fire pit causing air to circulate, and thus helping the fire embers ignite.
  It is our hope that this time spent together will bring us to a better understanding of one another and foster a strong bond of peace and friendship with our neighbours of all cultures.
  The gates open to the public at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday and the festivities start with a spectacular grand entry at noon with all the beautifully dressed dancers. You will have an opportunity to purchase some home made Native food and enjoy a cool strawberry drink or lemonade, while you browse through the vendors area to find that one of a kind keepsake.
  
  

  All travellers entering Canada from the United States are required to report directly to the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) border crossing in the city of Cornwall as required under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Customs Act.
