SIGA is a progressive organization with guiding principles rooted in our First Nations heritage. Our principle Pimȃcihowin refers to making a living, and we understand education and continuous learning are essential ingredients in doing so. We also know training, upgrading and education programs cost money. That’s why we established our SIGA Indigenous Scholarship Awards Program.

The SIGA mission is rooted in strengthening the lives of First Nations peoples in Saskatchewan through employment, economic growth and community relations. By establishing strategic alliances, SIGA will be well positioned to fulfill its mission as an organization. By being game-changers, all people will benefit and bring about many positive relationships to meet our mission as an organization.
