Children took centre stage — or centre quad — on Wednesday at Â鶹´«Ã½'s 14th annual Mawio'mi. 

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. 

Â鶹´«Ã½ photographer Nick Pearce was on hand to capture some of the sights at this year's celebration.
