Grand Portage Rendezvous Days

The annual Grand Portage Pow Wow is held in conjunction with Grand Portage Rendezvous Days sponsored by the Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa/Ojibwe (Anishinaabe), is an American Indian cultural gathering focused on dance, song, and family celebration, held the second weekend in August.

A place where family and friends return every year to attend the events at the National Monument and the Pow Wow on the hill. Midday Grand Entry Saturday and Sunday are particularly inspirational and colorful as U.S. and Canadian flags are raised to honor military veterans from Grand Portage. Staff bearers lead dancers, dressed in traditional regalia, into the Pow Wow ring. Through the Pow Wow, all people have the chance to experience Native American culture in a wonderful way.
