The 37th Annual Tyendinaga Traditional Pow Wow takes place August 10-11 in Tsi Tkerhetoton Park. Enjoy (and when an all-nations dance is called – participate) traditional dancing, take in the beautiful regalia of participants and learn more about various Indigenous cultures. A big part of the culture is good food. You’ll be able to get corn soup (lyed or dried), Indian Tacos (toppings you’d expect on a taco, served on Fry Bread), strawberry drink, and Bison burgers. The event will feature over 90 Indigenous craft vendors selling handmade items like art and jewellery.
Throughout the month of June, youth ages 7-18 were invited to submit photos taken of people, places or things during the last year within the Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board’s partner communities of Belleville, Brighton, Greater Napanee, the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and Quinte West. The contest’s purpose was to encourage artistic development, experimentation and expression among youth and to see how they perceive the world around us, which is often a much different perspective than adults.We were absolutely blown away by the entries—there are some seriously talented youth living in the BoQ!
While we believe in celebrating Pride all year round, we want to shine a light on the work these committees do, all the celebrations they have planned for the month and what it means to them to see Pride celebrated in their communities. I recently caught up with three local committee members for their thoughts.
Every year on the May long weekend, the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte mark the anniversary of the Landing on the shores of the Bay with a re-enactment of landfall, and a thanksgiving for the safe arrival of their ancestors.

Six Strings is a short film produced by Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na (TTO) and directed by Bawaadan Collective, shot over two weeks in the late summer of 2021 entirely in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory with actors from the community. The film is only available in the Mohawk language, purposefully with no English subtitles as TTO’s mission is to revitalize the language. Bringing the film to life meant lots of time spent consulting with various people, museums and people who hold knowledge about wampum and traditions.
The Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory flag is an emblem of peace and unity and draws attention to the importance of civic affairs.
