SAIT Community Round Dance
SAIT’s Community Round Dance is a meaningful gathering rooted in Indigenous culture, connection, and community. Everyone is welcome, whether you come to dance, observe, learn, or connect. All are invited to join the circle and participate in community in a respectful and meaningful way.
A Round Dance is a time to come together in a good way, honouring Indigenous traditions through respectful participation, reflection, and learning. This event offers a space for presence, connection, and cultural understanding, while recognizing and celebrating the importance of Indigenous ways of gathering.
By bringing Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples together as one community, SAIT’s Community Round Dance helps strengthen relationships, deepen understanding, and support campus-wide reconciliation, respect, and care.
Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
