At Prince Albert campus, Saskatchewan Polytechnic hosted its second annual powwow to honour miyo wâhkôhtowin.
Powwows are a central aspect of Indigenous culture and provide an opportunity to celebrate traditions, showcase talent and bring people together in a spirit of unity and friendship. Sask Polytech had 80 dancers and 300 attendees.
“We held Sask Polytech’s second powwow on the same day as convocation to continue the celebration of our graduates and another successful academic year,” says Deanna Kematch, Sask Polytech’s wītōkamāhtōtān Indigenous Student Success director. “Thank you to our wītōkamāhtōtān team for organizing this event and to everyone for attending!”
By hosting this powwow, Sask Polytech is demonstrating its commitment to miyo wâhkôhtowin, promoting diversity and inclusivity on its campuses and expressing the positive value and richness of experience that stems from interconnectedness and relationships.
