- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 21 Jun, 2026 at 12:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We're very honoured to once again welcome the Tzinquaw Dancers to Indigenous Peoples Weekend. 

The Quw'utsun Tzinquaw dance group originally belonged to the Tzinquaw Opera, a groundbreaking theatrical and musical production based on traditional Quw'utsun legends and songs. 

Created in the 1940s and 1950s, it provided a subversive way for the Quw'utsun people to keep their culture alive during an era when the Canadian Indian Act criminalized traditional ceremonies.

The group actively preserves identity, passes ancestral songs to younger generations, and serves as a major symbol of cultural revitalization for the Quw'utsun Tribes.

Tzinquaw Dancers have travelled to Holland, Bejing China, California, Mexico, all over Canada, and been in the opening ceremonies for the 1994 Commonwealth Games, Aboriginal hockey championships, and the Indigenous Music Awards (formerly the Aboriginal Peoples' Choice Awards).
