Like many events in 2020, Ryerson’s Pow Wow looked a little different this year. The annual student-led initiative typically takes place on campus, but when Covid-19 hit, they were forced to shift the event online. The result? A full virtual experience, consisting of Ryerson Pow Wow Education Week and a live-streamed pre-recorded Pow Wow, with video submissions from dancers and drummers.In this episode, Amanda Cupido speaks with student organizer Jessica Sherk and faculty member and mentor Riley Kucheran about the significance of Pow Wows and the importance of bringing Indigenous culture to the forefront on university campuses.
