DRAFT 2023 USask Graduation Powwow - School Registration

About our powwow

With its origins dating back to the 1980s, the university’s annual powwow is held to celebrate the academic success of Métis, First Nations and Inuit graduates from the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and local secondary schools. The powwow is also a time to celebrate the Indigenous community and culture at USask and around the province. This is the largest annual Indigenous event held by the university and attracts over 2,500 participants each year.

• celebrate and honour Indigenous graduates from USask and high schools,
• listen to fiddle music, First Nations drumming and singing,
