Gatherings

Our community comes alive in the drumbeat, the laughter, and the connections we share together. From the heartbeat of the drum at the Ggaténmamen gdankobthegnanêk or Kee Boon Mein Kaa Pow Wows to creating regalia, gathering for a Sovereignty Day celebration, a game of Shishibé or Pidro, every event is a celebration of who we are and the future we’re building together.

You can come teach our fellow Pokagon Band citizens

The Center of History & Culture is where traditions come alive. Here, you can hear the heartbeat of our drummers, watch dancers carry stories through every step, or join workshops where sewing and regalia-making skills are passed down with care.

Do you have a skill to share, whether as a pow wow dancer, singer, firekeeper, storyteller, or traditional artist? This is your chance to connect with the community and keep our culture strong.

We honor our ancestors & future generations

Our people have lived in the Great Lakes region for generations as the Keepers of the Fire. Our story includes both struggle and resilience, from surviving forced removal in the 1800s to celebrating the restoration of our sovereignty in 1994.

Through it all, our people have remained strong, connected to our homeland, and committed to future generations.
