Second annual Tipi Village returns to Ponoka during Stampede Week

The Town of Ponoka has announced the return of the second annual Tipi Village during Stampede Week.

As part of National Indigenous History Month and in the spirit of reconciliation, the Town says they are pleased to help facilitate the Tipi Village’s return on June 29 and June 30, weather permitting.

“The Town of Ponoka is very excited that the Tipi Village event will be returning to our community during the week of Stampede. It’s a great way to experience the Ponoka Stampede and celebrate Indigenous History Month with our neighbours,” said Ponoka Mayor Kevin Ferguson.

The event will feature members of Ermineskin Cree Nation, Samson Cree Nation, Louis Bull Tribe and the Montana First Nation as they present a powwow showcase, Indigenous storytelling, artwork and culture.
