It’s heartening to see the First Nations participating as enthusiastically as everyone else in this western party. The Stampede is an excellent way of learning more about First Nations culture. Proud Elders in ceremonial dress add colour to the Parade. In Stampede Park, the Indian Village represents the five tribes of the Treaty 7: the Siksika, T’suu Tina, Nakoda, Piikani and Kainai. Each day they open their tipis to visitors and stage performances of dance and song.
