The 19th Annual Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn Pow Wow will be a celebration of Anishinabe Traditional Foods, Crafts, Dancing and Drumming. In this year 2006, we celebrate Honouring the Sky and Water That Brings Peace and Unity (algonquin version)

To celebrate Honouring the Sky and Water That Brings Peace and Unity, 11 year old Pikwàkanagàn artist, Dylan Willet created the logo for the theme this year, shown at the top and left of the page. Following is text to accompany the artwork:
