Partner

Our community supporters and partners help us educate, preserve, celebrate, and share Northern Plains Indigenous traditions, art, and cultures.

From dance presentations to interpretive programming to community events, we work with a variety of core funders, granting bodies, and corporate sponsors to create memorable experiences here that are always educational! This affirms our commitment to advancing the understanding and appreciation of the evolving cultures of the Northern Plains Indigenous peoples, and reducing financial and other systemic barriers.

ATL Group

Wanuskewin really likes archaeologists. A lot! Wanuskewin is so thankful to our partners at ATL Group who have shown such care and attention to the park’s goals. Support for our archaeological storage unit, joining our UNESCO Ready Fundraising Campaign, and providing consultation work necessary for our journey to become Saskatchewan’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, has set the park up for success in so many ways.

Athabasca Basin Development

Athabasca Basin Development is pledging $12,000.00 to the Olivia & Greg Yuel Artist-in-Residence Program. “When our company first started 20 years ago, we heard from the Athabasca leaders that they wanted the seven communities to be unified, and to build something for future generations. Our company has stayed true to the original vision for over two decades, working towards building wealth for these Denesuline communities. As part of this overall vision, we are always looking for ways to give back. We specifically look for ways to give back that will have an impact on our shareholder communities, and we’ve contributed to numerous causes and events over the years that benefit the Athabasca region. We believe supporting the Wanuskewin artist in residence program is a way to help highlight artists from the Athabasca communities to a wider audience and encourage youth both in and outside the region.” Thank you!

The Yuel Family

Wanuskewin Galleries is humbled by the care and attention of major donors, Greg & Olivia Yuel who continue to support Wanuskewin in meaningful ways. The Olivia & Greg Yuel Artist-in-Residence Program is one of a kind because the artistic opportunity is for both emerging and established Indigenous artists! With a donation of $675,600.00, the Yuel family helps Wanuskewin reach farther as the work towards becoming a premiere tourist destination and Saskatchewan’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thank you Greg & Olivia Yuel!

North Family Foundation

Wanuskewin is delighted to welcome the North Family Foundation to the Wanuskewin family! We are extremely excited to share that the North Family Foundation values Indigenous guardian and stewardship over culture and land which is why they have donated $1,000,000.00 to Wanuskewin! “The idea of Wanuskewin becoming Saskatchewan’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site captured our imagination after having been invited to a gathering there with the promise of seeing baby bison! In our philanthropic work, we recognize that we have much to learn from our past and the indigenous stewards of the land since time immemorial. Wanuskewin represents a cultural and ecological legacy from which we can all gain inspiration.” Thank you North Family Foundation!
