Nisg̱aʼa Hoobiyee 2023 @ PNE
Hoobiyee 2023
Hobiyee, also spelled Hoobiyee, Hobiyee, Hobiiyee and Hoobiiyee, is the Nisg̱aʼa new year celebrated every February or March. It signifies the emergence of the first crescent moon and begins the month Buxw-laḵs. Celebrations of Hobiyee are done by Nisg̱aʼa wherever they are located, but the largest celebrations are in Nisg̱aʼa itself and in areas with a large Nisg̱aʼa presence like Vancouver.
We will host our Cultural Feast for Ts’amik members and dance groups on Thursday, March 2, 2023, starting at 5:00 pm at the PNE Forum.
Hoobiyee will start at 10:30 am on Friday, March 3 and continue on Saturday, March 4, 2023, at the PNE Forum. We have over 600 dancers performing and 65+ Indigenous Vendors. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
