Powwow Club Announcement

Our team at Wii Chii is incredibly grateful to Rhonda James and Coco Stevenson for the time, generosity and dedication they have given to Powwow Club and to the many youth, families and community members who have learned so much from them over the years. Their invaluable contributions have made Powwow Club what it is today.

After more than 10 years of sharing their knowledge, guidance and passion for powwow with our community, Rhonda and Coco, are moving on.

Powwow Club is not going away but we just need a little extra time to plan what the program will look like this fall. We will share more details as soon as they are finalized but we can confirm that it will continue to take place on Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30 p.m., with the program beginning in late September/early October.

Chi-miigwech to Rhonda and Coco for more than a decade of commitment, teaching and community building. We will do our best to continue what they have built and supporting families for Powwow Club.

Yesterday and today we hosted our appliqué leggings and moccasins workshop with Neepy. As always it’s awesome to see moms, aunties, and everyone learning to make their family or themselves new pieces of their regalia.

All participants signed up through our powwow club. 🙂
