Throughout the year, Meadow Lake Tribal Country comes alive with pow wows, celebrations, tournaments, cultural gatherings, seasonal events, and community milestones.
Visitors are warmly welcomed to attend many public events as a meaningful way to experience the living cultures, music, dance, food, and hospitality of this region.
Our tourism region is guided by the nine Nations of Meadow Lake Tribal Council, whose communities are spread across the forests, lakes, and traditional territories of northwestern Saskatchewan. Each Nation hosts unique gatherings and traditions throughout the year.
Celebrations and gatherings are hosted throughout the year by our nine member Nations:
