Stampede Parade

 

Elder Reg Crowshoe Talks About The Calgary Stampede Parade

Elder Reg CrowshoeOral Communication by Dr. Reg Crowshoe

"When we have a parade, in our culture when we have a parade that's when we wanna show off our leaders, we wanna show off our warriors, we wanna show off our ah our bead work and our ah crafts that ah, you know like the outfits and I think those are all what we have what we want to like to show everybody and that's why the parade was important, but also it was important in the way you entered the village in the old days. If the warriors went out to on a raid and they came back into the village, they'd be the first ones allowed and then everybody followed in as a parade. So those related to those times."
