With a strong dedication to promoting reconciliation and safeguarding culture, history, and traditions, our Annual Whitecap Dakota Nation Powwow makes a positive impact on our community.
By organizing the first powwow in decades, our goal in 2024 was to unify the community and create meaningful change for both current and future generations.
Building of a successful Powwow in 2024, we are excited to announce our 2025 Powwow will be held August 27 & 28 at Sasktel Centre in Saskatoon.
