Aboriginal Neighbours
August 22, 2017, 7pm
On July 15, we were blessed by the participation of Virgil Stevens, the Kootenays, and others from the Stoney Nakoda First Nation in our Alberta Parks Day celebration. Virgil opened the event with prayer, and shared with us some of the traditions of his people. The Kootenays provided dancing and drumming before the close of our ceremonies.
But it wasn’t enough! We have asked Virgil Stevens, Darryl Kootenay, and Ariel Kootenay back to share more insight into their culture and traditions. There will be sessions in both the classroom and the tipi currently on loan from the Glenbow School and Nakoda First Nation.
Our summer sessions have only been lightly attended as people go their different directions to visit family and enjoy other climes, but hopefully everyone will be back for the new school year and be able to come listen to our aboriginal neighbours.
Presenters
Virgil Stevens, Darryl Kootenay, and Ariel Kootenay are members of the Stoney Nakoda First Nation proximate to the Park. Their voices are vital part of the community, culture, and history of the Glenbow Valley.
