Mawiomi
A virtual event at Saint Mary's University.
The Saint Mary's Indigenous community with Student Affairs and Services is pleased to release a digital repository of Mawio'mi videos to celebrate Indigenous peoples, their history and traditions.
The term Mawio'mi refers to a gathering of Mi'kmaw people to celebrate life. Sometimes referred to as a Powwow, this event includes Indigenous ceremony, storytelling, dance, drumming and gathering with friends and family. Since 2018 Saint Mary's has hosted a Mawoi'mi on-campus but given COVID-19 health and safety protocols this year, we have shifted our celebrations to take place digitally.

This group has played at our gatherings for many years. The SMU community always loves to dance and share in their good drum medicine. Tahoe. Wela’lioq.
