Good Friendship

Good Friendship

"Is that there's been such a good friendship between the Calgary Stampede and the First Nations of Treaty 7 is because the Calgary Stampede wanted them to come and do their dancing, sing, show their culture, and show the way they lived their life so it was a very very good thing. Um, working together with the Stampede and the Government to allow the first nations people and now it's just now there's no question we're, the teepee owners are invited and they all look forward to it every year. Our teepee owners, um for the first couple of weeks before the Stampede are very excited, all of the children come, they bring lots of workers with them to help them out. Alot of our teepee owners are very very elderly and they're highly , highly respected the Elders are in the First nations culture."
