Thirty years have passed since the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College first opened its doors.

In the intervening years it's grown from a insitution with nine students to one with an average annual enrolment of more than 1,200. It's also expanded to take in three campuses, located in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert, and to offer a wide variety of programs through its 10 academic departments. On June 21, 2003, the institution also went through a major transformation, becoming the First Nations University of Canada.

To celebate its anniversary, the university hosted Family Fun Days on each of its campuses and held a gala dinner in Regina on Sept. 7.
