TEXT: Within Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island) the Mi'kmaq had what are traditionally known as mawi'omi or gatherings, which are commonly known as powwows. The powwow trail begins in Scotchfort, one of the three Abegweit First Nation reserves, at the beginning of June. ​The Mi'kmaq Confederacy of P.E.I. powwow (shown here) was at the Confederation Landing Park on Aug. 14 and 15.
