SIGA not only hosts its own Powwows and cultural events but also provides funding to help other organizations and communities in the province host their own cultural celebrations. This support ensures that First Nations traditions are preserved and celebrated throughout the province, with SIGA serving as both a host and enabler of cultural activities across Saskatchewan. Below is a list of upcoming SIGA hosted and sponsored cultural events. Learn more about First Nations culture at SIGA here: First Nations Culture – SIGA – Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority
