It's Pow Wow time at UÀ¶Ý®ÊÓƵ! September 23, 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the United College (formerly St. Paul’s University College) annual Pow Wow. This year is an exciting collaboration between the À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Indigenous Student Centre (WISC) and the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR). In addition to the Pow Wow being co-hosted by WISC and OIR, there will be another major change from years past, as the Pow Wow moves to the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Campus at an indoor venue, Columbia Icefield (CIF). A huge thank you goes out to University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Athletics for your support in this celebration! This is a one-day event featuring vendors, dancers, and singers from the Region of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and beyond. This is a non-competition Pow Wow, with a focus on celebrating Indigenous culture and tradition through song, dance, arts, and food. Most importantly, this Pow Wow is intended to be a safe, welcoming, and vibrant opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks from the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ community and beyond to gather and spend time with each other in a beautiful display of indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation. All are welcome and encouraged to participate in the celebration!
