June is Indigenous History Month, and in honor, the 3rd annual Tipi Village is returning to the Ponoka Stampede.
The four-day event from June 25-June 28 will be hosted by Louis Bull Tribe with members of the Ermineskin Cree Nation, Samson Cree Nation, and Montana First Nation.
The Tipi Village will feature a grand entry, greetings and speeches from elders and neighboring First Nations, a powwow showcase, Indigenous storytelling, artwork, and culture.
Tipi Village will be set up in the ball diamonds area located behind the arena, directly across from the Stampede grounds, and will be open to the public from 2 to 5 p.m. each day.
