A pow-wow is an Indigenous gathering that brings together dance, song, and community. Traditionally hosted by one Nation to welcome and honour others, these gatherings are often held over a three-day weekend, with people travelling from great distances to attend. While most take place during the summer months, they now occur year-round across North America. All people are welcome, and attending can be a meaningful cultural experience for those new to Indigenous traditions.

There are two common formats: traditional and competition. Traditional gatherings emphasize ceremony and community, with dancers and singers receiving day money and participating in honourings, giveaways, and special dances. Competition gatherings offer prize money for top dancers and drum groups, depending on available resources. Both formats celebrate culture, connection, and shared experience.
