This was such an interesting post, mixing the cultures living in the same space.

Unfortunately, because of the negative global pressure to shed the term Indian they decided to retire the Indian Village after the 2018 Stampede and rename the site Elbow River Camp.

What a wonderful piece of history here, and yes! Those teepes look truly like they should.

In the US, people of Indian heritage were the only ones allowed to wear the plumage, others were thrown in jail or heavily fined. The population was endangered and that was one of their ways of doing it. Now, they have made a comeback!

I have lived out in Arizona and I had many friends who were nurses on the reservations. We went to a lot of pow-wows and I was fascinated by the wild abandon in which they danced and chanted. I am pretty sure that it didn't hurt to take a hit on that peace pipe, in retrospect.

I hope you get to go again this year and let us know if it was a name change only. Thank you for putting together a most fascinating #MarketFriday for the challenge today. Very much appreciated and as always, I hope you have a most wonderful weekend!

Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others and gives it more eyes on it. This also helps me to have them in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you so much for joining us!! ❤

#MarketFriday loves you!
