The Government of Saskatchewan has declared February 2025 as "Indigenous Storytelling Month." Numerous events are being celebrated around the province; we've listed a number of these events with links to more information here:
"For Indigenous people, storytelling is both a gift, and a very old custom, used to teach, entertain, and remember. Since 2004, Library Services for Saskatchewan Aboriginal Peoples (LSSAP) has coordinated Saskatchewan Indigenous Storytelling Month. Through the month of February, storytelling events are held by libraries and their partners in communities throughout Saskatchewan."
The Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild is offering online events via Zoom during the four Wednesdays in February. To register, please visit https://skwriter.com/events-and-workshops.
