Join us for the Rendezvous at the Straits Powwow, a welcoming community celebration open to all, with admission by donation. This authentic Native American gathering features traditional dancing, drumming, and singing, along with vendor demonstrations, hand-crafted arts and crafts, and delicious Native American cuisine. The Rendezvous is a family-friendly, alcohol- and drug-free event sponsored by the St. Ignace Events Committee, the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and Kewadin Casinos.

Alongside the powwow, explore the Indigenous Art Show, showcasing culturally significant works from local Indigenous artists and creators from across the region and beyond. These exhibits and workshops are designed to build understanding and strengthen communication between Indigenous communities and event attendees—fostering meaningful connections and lifelong friendships through art and culture.
