Featured Indigenous Projects

Browse through this selection of projects and powwow tents to discover some of the many ways Sprung structures support Indigenous communities throughout North America.

Sprung for pavilion structures and other facilities

First Nations across North America have chosen Sprung to help nurture the well-being of their communities through the addition of sports and recreation facilities, powwow structures, entertainment venues, gaming facilities and more. The shape of a Sprung structure is reminiscent of a traditional longhouse, a design feature that many Indigenous leaders have found appealing when looking into developing new facilities for their community.

Choose Sprung for Indigenous building projects

Sprung has worked with Indigenous communities on many projects, from multi-purpose recreation facilities, like the one built for the Blood Tribe in Standoff, Alberta; to casinos like the Fire Rock Casino in New Mexico and the Point Casino in Puget Sound, Washington State; to powwow tents, such as the ones built for Enoch Cree Nation in Edmonton, Alberta.

Sprung offers vibrant membrane colors and custom graphic designs that have proven to be a great addition to Indigenous building projects. For the Enoch Cree Nation powwow structures, Sprung used the tribal colors of white and Salem blue to customize a special pavilion building designed to resemble a large traditional shelter. Featuring an earth anchoring system, this pavilion structure helped facilitate a unique powwow experience for attendees, as they were able to celebrate on the grass while remaining protected from the elements.

Benefits of choosing Sprung for pavilion and powwow structures

Sprung fabric structures can be erected very quickly, transforming any location into a functional space. They serve as pavilion structures, casino facilities, and multi-purpose spaces for events, storage or community gatherings. When first entering a Sprung structure, most people are immediately struck by how spacious it feels. We achieve this with state-of-the-art design and engineering techniques that result in a huge open area that can be customized for a wide variety of uses, including powwow tents.
