520 |a The struggle of Newfoundland’s Mi’kmaq for recognition as First Nations has raised questions within their communities about what it means to be Mi’kmaq and how they differ from others. The Conne River Mi’kmaq powwow began in 1996 as a venue for expressing their indigenous identity to outsiders, but also as a means of sharing ceremonies and instilling certain values within the community. Powwows have strict rules and boundaries based on the conceived ‘sacredness’ of specific areas and the powwow ground as a whole. How is ‘sacredness’ defined in these spaces and what values are being reinforced? In what ways are these boundaries maintained and transgressions discouraged? This paper will analyse the Conne River powwow as a ‘re/produced’ space for performing indigeneity.
