BIRDS OF PREY PROGRAM

Each year, the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre (SICC) works in partnership with the Government of Saskatchewan to deliver the Birds of Prey Program. This program exists to support the living ceremonial traditions of Saskatchewan First Nations, where feathers from birds of prey hold deep spiritual and cultural significance.

​

Through this unique and carefully guided initiative, feathers and other sacred items from birds of prey—such as Eagles and Hawks—are lawfully preserved through partnership with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport, and then distributed for Saskatchewan First Nations ceremonial and spiritual use only.

​​

All applications are reviewed and approved by the SICC Elders Council, ensuring that each request is handled in a good way and that these sacred items continue their journey in ceremony.

The 2026 Birds of Prey program deadline has closed.

Only successful applicants will be contacted.  

Thank you for your participation, and for your ongoing commitment to keeping First Nations traditional customs and practices vibrant and moving forward.​​​​​​
