Welcome to SkasdiCon
a showcase of Indigenous influence on pop culture
While there’s no word quite like “Skasdi” in English, it conveys pride, impressiveness, awesomeness, fierceness and feistiness. One Cherokee word can describe so many of the comic book, movie and video game characters, created by artists and celebrated by cosplayers, that you can find at comic conventions. From this, SkasdiCon was born!
Here, guests can attend Indigenous panel discussions, view exclusive screenings, meet Indigenous creators, and enjoy the family-friendly cosplay competition.
You came, you saw, you SkasdiConned! Thank you to our guests, judges, panelists and fantastic festival goers for making SkasdiCon such an action-packed success. We can’t wait to show what’s next — at SkasdiCon ’25!
