Mohawk, Metis and Iroquois women dance in sacred regalia at the 28th Echoes of a Proud Nation powwow, in Kahnawake, in the Canadian province of Quebec.

At the event, there is dancing, food and crafts, and everything has a symbolic meaning, from the colour of jewellery beads, to the way people dance.

The first powwow happened in 1991, the year after the Oka Crisis (a land dispute between a group of Mohawk people and the town of Oka) that highlighted divisions between indigenous and non-indigenous communities.
