Dr. Stanley Vollant, our Honorary President

Since the inception of KWE! Meet with Indigenous Peoples in 2017, Dr. Stanley Vollant, a renowned surgeon from the Pessamit (Innu) community, has played a crucial role as the event's official ambassador. Dr. Vollant's reputation and commitment have greatly contributed to KWE!

Founder of Puamun Meshkenu, “The Path of a Thousand Dreams,” he has inspired and encouraged many to join an annual symbolic walk during the KWE! festival. In 2024, the Puamun Meshkenu Walk will take place on June 15 at 11:00 AM, with the meeting point at the KWE! festival site at Place Jean-Béliveau, by the giant screen in the middle of the site.
