Nope, but I went to the Cape Croker (Ontario) Powwow last weekend until the rain chased off us fair weather eventers. Good fish, good dance, good dress. Not enough quality vendors, but that's improving lately. They were honouring their war vets. During WW2 the reserve pretty much emptied of eligible men, and the few left were there to participate.
Nice to hear their language spoken, songs sung, drums sound. Took the younger family members and friends for some cultural exposure, and they loved it. Highly recommended.
