First Nations Drumming & Dancing at the Calgary Stampede, Saturday July 17, 2010

When I head to the stampede grounds, this is one of the places I love to go. To enjoy the drums and the singing and dancing and the pageantry and the sense of history and pride. Brings me back again to a center, to a more settled speed of life, and to a more 'grounded' sense of place. The drumming and dancing competitions are part of the "indian village" for the whole of the 10 days of Stampede (since it's inception in 1912), and it's great to see the First Nations traditions continue.
