22nd Annual Pow Wow 2025 | Gidinawendamin ~ We Are All Related | Ska'nikú-lat ~ One Spirit One Mind

September 27, 2025 marks the 22nd anniversary of the Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát annual Pow Wow.

Hosted by the Office of Indigenous Relations, now integrated with Indigenous Student Services, this one-day non-competitive celebration of Indigenous heritage features vendors, dancers, and singers from the Waterloo region and beyond. Join us as we celebrate Indigenous culture and tradition through song, dance, arts, and cuisine. The Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát Pow Wow is intended to be a safe, welcoming, and vibrant opportunity for Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks from the UWaterloo community and beyond to gather in celebration of Indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation.

This remarkable event has a $5 admission fee (with exemptions for children under 12, students with valid ID and Elders 50+) and welcomes everyone to join.

GRAND ENTRY AT NOON!

We gratefully acknowledge the University of Waterloo Athletics for their vital support in making this celebration possible!
