Attend a pow-wow
Pow-wows take place year-round in the City of Kenora, and are often held during the spring and summer months. Learn about upcoming dates and attend a pow-wow to engage with our local culture.
Indigenous pictographs
Indigenous pictographs are the oldest art forms found in the Lake of the Woods region. Because canvas and paints were not available at the time, early indigenous artists used berry juice and sap mixtures to paint images on rock formations. Some of these historical attractions are still visible today and provide some insight into early indigenous cultures in the territory that is now Canada.
