Indigenous artists and craftspeople from across the region were able to show off their work.

It marks the third year the Indigenous market has been showcased at the university.

Organizers believe attendees can benefit from purchasing Indigenous works as a forever memento.

“(It’s an) opportunity for people from all over Canada who come to this university, as well as the staff and faculty here, to look on the other side and look at the beauty that all these artists and vendors can bring to the table,” said Foster Wright, Indigenous Students Association president.

The Dhillon School of Business is also celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Indigenous business education program.
