The Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Center (SICC) seeks to help First Nations people in Saskatchewan to learning our ways, speaking our languages and living our lives as given by the Creator. The center was the first First Nations controlled educational institution serving at the provincial level. The SICC strives to maintain the cultural identity of First Nations cultures who inhabit what is now known as Saskatchewan: Plains Cree, Swampy Cree, Woodlands Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota and Lakota. SICC provides a First Nations resource base for bands and school systems to draw upon so the First Nations children may inherit the values and traditions of their heritage. Extensive research is also conducted and facilitated on First Nations heritage and culture. Above all, the Centre strives to respect and promote the Inherent sovereignty of First Nations and their governments as recognized by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and confirmed by the Treaties and constitutional relationships.
