A large group of children and adult instructors stand in a wide circle on a lush green lawn during an Indigenous Peoples Day celebration. In the background, a small wooden log cabin with a green roof sits near tall trees under a bright sky.

An audience of youth sits on the grass, watching Indigenous dancers perform in vibrant regalia on an outdoor wooden stage. A group of drummers and singers accompany the performance from the side of the stage.

Three smiling presenters stand behind a display table showcasing Métis sashes, traditional animal furs, and a miniature Red River cart. The background features educational poster boards and a large blue Métis flag hanging prominently on the wall.

Indigenous Peoples Day, in Sundre at Sundre & District Museum, offers a June celebration of Indigenous culture with live performances and hands-on learning. Visitors can explore a dedicated Métis exhibit, then listen as Otipemisiwak Battle River Territory District 3 Elders and Knowledge Keepers share stories, songs, and teachings that bring local history to life. Guests are invited to tap their toes, learn the jig, and connect with neighbours in a welcoming setting. The Stoney Nakoda further enrich the day with dancing, drumming, and song, using vibrant regalia and traditional place names to share their deep connection to the land. It is an engaging way to experience living culture and gain a deeper understanding of the region’s Indigenous heritage.
