Join the Mamaway Wiidokdaadwin Life Promoters on July 31st & August 1st for a Star Blanket Workshop with Nikki Shawana!
Nikki Shawana is an Indigenous artist from the Odawa Nation (Anishinaabe), Eagle clan. Her roots are from Wiikwemkoong, Manitoulin Island, however, she grew up in Southern Ontario. Nikki currently resides and raises her family in Norfolk County.
Nikki started Pow Wow dancing at an early age as a way to keep connected to her Anishinaabe culture while growing up in an urban setting. As a teenager, she gathered teachings from Elders, dancers, singers and crafts people in her community and the powwow trail. Growing up in Southern Ontario, Nikki learned many teachings, songs, dances and language from the Haudenosaunee as well. She quickly found herself as a role model for other youth in her community that wanted to learn more about their culture.
