As the first Pow Wow of the year, this much anticipated event is also considered one of the biggest Pow Wows in Saskatchewan, attracting more than 7,000 visitors and participants from across Canada and the United States. Since it first began in 1978, the pow wow has been held every year to celebrate cultural diversity, to unify families and communities, and to demonstrate First Nations traditions through a wide variety of song and dance styles.

The celebration of spring announces new life and gives thanks for sharing in the rebirth of the land. Our students initiated this event thirty years ago and are still a big part of the celebration as volunteers and head staff.

The proceeds from this year's event goes toward establishing a second scholarship prize.

Building Community Spirit

With the help of over 150 volunteers, the First Nations University of Canada Pow Wow has become one  of Regina’s largest spring tourist attractions. In strengthening community relations, all involvement from the Elders, the arts and crafts organizations, the corporate and non-profit organizations, the Regina Police Service, and local businesses contributes to the community spirit of this event.
While the First Nations University of Canada Pow Wow proves to be a powerful way to heighten awareness of First Nation culture with non-First Nations and other ethnic community groups, it also provides a tremendous amount of publicity not only for the First Nations University of Canada, but also for the city and the province. 

Eagle Sponsor Access Communications
