Who we are?
The Lac La Biche Pow Wow & Fish Derby Association is a proud community-driven organization dedicated to celebrating Indigenous culture, tradition, and outdoor heritage in the Lac La Biche region.
Founded with the vision of bringing people together, we host two of the area’s most cherished annual events — the Lac La Biche Pow Wow and the Fish Derby. These events are more than just gatherings; they are a vibrant showcase of Indigenous dance, music, storytelling, and traditional practices, alongside the thrill and camaraderie of sport fishing on our beautiful lakes.
Our Mission & Vision
To preserve and promote Indigenous culture through authentic
Pow Wow celebrations while fostering community engagement
through our annual Fish Derby. We strive to create inclusive
events that educate, inspire, and bring together people of
all backgrounds to celebrate our shared heritage and love
for the land and waters of Lac La Biche.
To be recognized as a leading organization in cultural
preservation and community building, where generations come
together to honor traditions, create lasting memories, and
develop a deeper appreciation for Indigenous culture and the
natural beauty of our region. We envision a future where our
events serve as bridges between cultures and catalysts for
local economic growth.
All About Community!
Lac La Biche Pow Wow Days has a rich history rooted in community celebration and Indigenous heritage, officially taking shape in the 1960s after a precursor event in 1955. The event has returned to its original name and is now led by a new board, emphasizing its commitment to culture, history, and local pride. Businesses and individuals wishing to donate or sponsor, we thank you in advance.
