Events and gatherings are a way for us to connect, whether virtually or in-person. They provide space and opportunity to learn and reflect together, to share, and to move together toward the goals of reconciliation. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
We have previous, current, and upcoming events featured here. We welcome and encourage you to share all Indigenous focused events with us. If you know of an event you would like us to share and highlight, please let us know by emailing indigenousrelations@uwaterloo.ca.

Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát 21st Annual Pow Wow
September 28, 2024 marks the 21st anniversary of the Gidinawendamin/Ska’nikú•lát annual Pow Wow.
This year continues the collaboration between the Shatitsirótha’ Waterloo Indigenous Student Centre (WISC) and the University of Waterloo Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR). 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. 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.
