Taken on 11 July 2013, when I spent a little time down at the Stampede Grounds with my youngest daughter. "Indian Village is a park featuring the colourful heritage of the five First Nations tribes of Treaty 7: the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, Tsuu T’ina, and Stoney Nakoda Nations. There are 26 tipis in Indian Village, some of which are open for viewing every July. Indian Village has been an integral part of Stampede Park since the first Calgary Stampede in 1912. In 1974, it moved to its current location at the south end of the park, along the Elbow River. Events include performances by First Nations dancers, games and tipi-raising. First Nations interpreters are always available to provide information and commentary about their culture to visitors. Indian Village also hosts a Stampede Pow Wow where native dancers compete in colourful and intricate regalia for cash prizes. Guided tours of the Village are also available." www.canadiangeographic.ca/calgarystampede/english/indian-village/index.htm

The Indian Village has been a major part of the Calgary Stampede since the inception in 1912 and is one of my favourite parts of the Stampede Grounds during Stampede week. The ring of brightly decorated teepees gives visitors a small glimpse into traditional First Nations way of life.

I liked the colours and design of the opening of this teepee (tipi, tepee). Seen on one of the brightly coloured teepees in the Indian Village down at the Stampede Grounds, when I went with my youngest daughter on July 12th. The annual Calgary Stampede came to an end yesterday, so the city can now return to normal, lol. What a crazy 10 days, though my visit to the Grounds with my daughter was the only thing I went to. For visitors to the city, this 10-day event is amazing!
