Iikaisskini Indigenous Studies Gala: An Evening in Celebration of Dr. Leroy Little Bear

After a lifetime of educational service, Iikaisskini (Low Horn) Dr. Leroy Little Bear (BASc (BA) ’72, DASc ’04) is concluding his official role as the inaugural Vice-Provost, Iniskim Indigenous Relations at the University of Lethbridge.

Join us on Thursday, June 18, 2026, as we honour Dr. Little Bear and recognize his many contributions to Iniskim, celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Department of Native American Studies (now Indigenous Studies) and raise important funds to support students through the Iikaisskini Indigenous Studies Scholarship. 

Proceeds from the gala, along with donations, will establish an endowed scholarship in Dr. Little Bear’s name for Indigenous students enrolled in Indigenous Studies at ULethbridge. Each ticket includes a charitable tax receipt.

A plated dinner will be served with accommodations available for dietary concerns. The evening will also feature Indigenous drumming, dancing and entertainment.
