Attendance grows at annual Pow Wow

Over 900 students gathered at St. Clair College Friday to participate in the third annual alumni and student Pow Wow.

Hosted by the college and the University of Windsor, the Pow Wow invites students and community members to learn and celebrate the Indigenous culture in the region.

"I just want to bring awareness of the Indigenous culture and have everyone in the community brought together to share this, to experience a Pow Wow, to learn about it and for our Indigenous youth to be proud of their culture," said Tina Jacobs, Indigenous Learning Advisor at St. Clair College.

The Pow Wow features dances, drum circles, Indigenous vendors, and food stands.

On Saturday, community members are invited to join the festivities starting at 11 a.m. at the St. Clair College Sportsplex.

Over 4,000 people are expected to attend the weekend's events.
