Cause
The St’at’imc Northern Tribe Powwow Society (SNTPS) was registered on Sept 22, 2021, as a not for profit (Incorporated #S007542). SNTPS became a charitable organization on January 19, 2023(775858806RR0001). Our Board consists of 8 members Brian Lester President, Chris Thomas Wells VP, Gary Abott, Fran Thevarge, Darryl Peters, Mark Mendonca, Clara John and Barry Dan. The society has a Powwow committee working towards our inaugural August 09, 2025, Powwow.
On February 27, 2023, The Lil’wat Nation Chiefs and Council unanimously supported the initiative of developing the Powwow Arbor. The Location of the Powwow Arbor is located on land legally leased to the Society by Brian Lester. It is located at 347 Kwetsa7(IR2) between Mt Currie and Pemberton BC. We are proud of our accomplishments to date. With generous support from donors including funds and many volunteers from around the world. Construction of the arbour began in the spring of 2023. Today we are about 80% complete and working towards our August 9, 2025, deadline.
Our mission is to host authentic homecoming powwows that are grounded in protocol, culture, respect, humility, and knowledge-sharing by celebrating the medicines of dancing, drumming, singing, and ceremony.
Our vision is to observe self, connect to culture, and unite communities for this and future generations across all walks of life. Our goal is to support Indigenous arts, music, culture, and dance through the creation of powwow events.
Our charitable Purpose is to increase the public's appreciation of the arts by providing high-quality performances of Indigenous dance to the public. - To promote excellence in Indigenous dance by organizing and operating an annual competition with merit-based prizes in categories based on age, gender, instrument, and dance style. - To undertake activities that are ancillary and incidental to the attainment of the above charitable purposes.
Lottery proceeds will be used to provide a first-class event for all.
