Sheguiandah First Nation invites you to help shape the future of our Nation through our Comprehensive Community Planning Engagement.
To make this plan a success, we need input from all members on how you envision our Nation’s future. Your ideas will shape the Comprehensive Community Plan and guide where we go from here.
The process is inclusive and reflects the perspectives of all members, whether within or outside the traditional territory. Everyone has a role to play. Elders, youth, families, and representatives from across the community bring valuable insights into what matters most.
This session: Thursday, June 11, 2026, 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Georgian Room C, Holiday Inn Sudbury, 1696 Regent Street, Sudbury, ON, P3E 3Z8.

Pow Wow Etiquette
Boozhoo, welcome, biindigen. Pow Wow is a joyful community gathering with sacred moments. Please help us honour the dancers, singers, Elders and traditions by following these respectful guidelines.

Listen to the MC. The MC explains what is happening and shares instructions throughout.
Stand in respect. Stand and remove hats when requested for Grand Entry, prayers, Flag Songs, Veterans Songs, Honour Songs and other ceremonial moments.
Ask before taking photos. Ask before photographing or recording dancers. No recording of ceremonies, Honour Songs, or the Sacred Fire when restricted.
Respect the regalia. Dancers wear regalia, not costumes. Do not touch a dancer or their regalia without permission.
Honour the dance arena. Do not enter or cross the arena unless invited by the MC. Walk around the outside.
Leave fallen items in place. If an eagle feather or a piece of regalia falls, do not pick it up. Quietly notify the Arena Director or MC.
Respect the drums. Do not touch drums or equipment unless invited.
Help keep the grounds safe. This is a drug and alcohol free gathering. Supervise children, use waste bins, and follow the pet policy.
Come in a good way. Bring a lawn chair, support Indigenous artists and vendors, and ask respectful questions at appropriate times. Visitors are encouraged to join intertribal dances when invited.

Miigwech for joining us with kindness and respect. Community protocols may vary. When in doubt, please follow the direction of the MC or Arena Director.
