Kunhi-Yo 2026 is underway at the Oneida Casino Hotel

The day began with the Oneida Veterans leading a grand entry of dancers into the event space.

After a healthy breakfast, the audience settled in to listen and ponder the words of the presenters, including Robert “BJ” Jones delivering The Winds of Change: A Spiritual Awakening. Shortly after, Thomas R. Porter, well-known spiritual leader of the Mohwak Community of Kanatsiohareke helped all attendees put their minds as one.

Activities of sobriety, healing, and wellness continue throughout today, Friday, August 28, 2026 until the Oneida Nation Smoke Dancers bring the day to a close when they take the stage at 4pm.

Watch the October 2026 Kalihwisaks for a full recap.
