Children took centre stage ā€” or centre quad ā€” on Wednesday at pilipiliĀž»­'s 14th annual Mawio'mi.Ā 

First held in 2009, the Mawio'mi has become a signature event in the university's Mi'kmaw History Month celebrations each October. The event features Mi'kmaw dance, craft, food and culture and brings Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks together for a full day of sharing, learning, and festivities.Ā 

Dalhousie photographer Nick Pearce was on hand to capture some of the sights at this year's celebration.Ā
