MESC Oskâyak Conference

Opening Song & Honor Song

Keynote with Kairyn Potts & Scott Wabano

Get ready for a keynote like no other! Kairyn Potts and Scott Wabano, the Two-Spirit cousins behind The Real Rank Podcast, are bringing their bold, funny, and inspiring energy to the 2025 Oskâyak Conference stage.

They’re keeping it real about what it’s like growing up Indigenous today — talking about identity, mental health, culture, fashion, and everything in between. Through stories, laughter, and honest convo, Kairyn and Scott show us that being ourselves is our biggest flex.

Kairyn is a youth advocate and content creator who’s all about lifting up Indigenous and 2SLGBTQ+ youth. Scott is a fashion icon and changemaker using their style and voice to bring truth and pride to every space they step into.

If you love TikTok, storytelling, cool vibes, and straight-up realness — this session’s for you. Come hang out, feel seen, and get inspired to be loud, proud, and 100% you.

Catered by Bob Ronnie.

Cultural movement powwow fitness is a fun time to get active. It is for all levels of fitness, we start out with a group stretch and get into some beginner powwow steps/moves. It is a follow along type session that is facilitated for all ages. The session comes with a brief description on the  powwow categories. The cultural connection is very important for the students, some may dance powwow already and some may have the thought of dancing. The purpose is to get connected with Identity and the goal is to see more of the students want to continue engaging in the powwow dance. Inspire dance through being the leader!
