The Regina Campus Student Association will host its annual Round Dance at the First Nations University of Canada in Regina, Saskatchewan, on February 13, 2026. This cultural event brings students, Elders, and the local community together to celebrate Indigenous traditions through music and dance.
The evening is set to begin with a traditional pipe ceremony followed by a communal feast that is open to the public. After the meal, the celebration moves to the main atrium for the Round Dance, which features live singing and drumming from drum groups and community singers (events like this often include participants from across the Prairies). According to the University of Regina, these gatherings are important social events that help create a sense of belonging for students.
The First Nations University of Canada building was designed by architect Douglas Cardinal and its atrium is intended to accommodate large-scale indoor Indigenous ceremonies such as this. The university’s Event Services and Parking & Transportation pages provide visitor information, including guidance on parking and building access for attendees.
Community members who plan to attend the meal are encouraged to bring their own reusable bowls and spoons to help reduce waste. While the Round Dance is a public celebration, organizers ask that visitors respect cultural protocols and seek permission before taking photos of drum groups. The event is free to attend and offers an opportunity for people of all backgrounds to join the community circle.
