Project Overview

This event will take place in the spring of 2016 in North Central Minnesota and will celebrate Ojibwe culture and heritage. In Fiscal Year 2015 KAXE & KOJB utilized funds from an Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund competitive grant to create this Pow Wow that took place at the Sanford Center in Bemidji and attracted more than 3,500 people. AMPERS will now be responsible for this event which will welcome Native as well as non-Native to attend. The Pow Wow will help everyone in attendance to gain a better understanding of the Ojibwe culture, customs, and history.
