Nimihitowin! and iiyíkihkaohsit

Come experience contemporary Indigenous powwow dance with Cree, Blackfoot, and Stoney dancers and see excerpts from their two shows Nimihitowin! and iiyíkihkaohsit.

Powwow dance, hoop dance and Métis jigging are beautiful expressions of Indigenous Peoples’ rich history and culture. Translated from Cree to mean “to dance” and “to be in movement”, Nimihitowin! (Knee-me-toe-win) will mesmerize audiences with dramatic dancing, spectacular regalia and the subtle beauty of Native American flute songs. Insightful commentary about each dance will also enhance the performance as kids get the chance to celebrate this rich, cultural treasure with the Cree, Blackfoot and Métis dancers of Nimihitowin!.
