In 1961, Wikwemikong Band Member Rosemary Odjig sought to revitalize the Pow Wow in Wikwemikong and held the very first “Wikwemikong Indian Days” held during the summer of that year. Since then the name would change to the Wikwemikong Annual Cultural Festival and would be revered as one of the largest, longest running Pow Wow in North Eastern North America.
