Each year, on the third weekend in August, the Aroostook Band of Micmacs celebrates the
Mawiomi of Tribes which is dedicated to all people of Mother Earth.  The word “Mawiomi”
is derived from the Mikmaq language meaning “Gathering”
The event is intended to showcase beauty, strength, spirit and endurance
of the Micmac peoples’ culture and tradition.
The three-day event shares Micmac traditions and culture through our songs, dances, food
and expressions. Each day, various themes will feature traditional/cultural activities such as:

~Sunrise Blessing Ceremony
~Traditional Meals
~Traditional Drumming and Dancing
~Traditional Micmac Sweat Lodges
~Traditional Native Craft Sales
~Childrens’ games

The Mawiomi event takes place at
Spruce Haven, 214 Doyle Rd in Caribou, Maine

EVERYONE IS WELCOME
