A look at the day of remembrance and celebration on Anemki Wajiw

Under a glorious, September sky, First Nations people of all ages danced in regalia to the sounds of the drums at the Fort William First Nation Fall powwow this week. 

The first day of the powwow fell on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Scroll down to see some of our best photos from the day:
