As Canada’s oldest powwow event, the Piikani Nation Powwow features everything from a parade to dance competitions, drum and hand drum contests, IFCA rodeo horse racing, softball, a golf tournament, and even a princess pageant.<\/p>\n

Piikani Nation Powwow and Celebration<\/h4>\n

The Piikani Nation Powwow started from the idea by a couple of people who had gone to the States and seen a reserve do something like this, and so they brought it back home to Piikani, making us the first reserve in Canada to have the first “Indian Days Celebration”. The name eventually changed to “The Piikani Nation Annual Celebration”. Most reserves in Canada now have this type celebration.<\/p>\n

The current dance arbour was first used in 2013. Not only the bleachers being able to hold hundreds of people, but also the floor where people could place their own chairs, having this state of the art arbour was a highlight of that year’s celebrations.<\/p>\n

More About the Piikani Nation Powwow for Participants & Visitors<\/h3>\n

IRCA Rodeo<\/strong>
\nThis far into southern Alberta, you really can’t find many summer events without horses. The Piikani Nation is no exception, in addition to the music, dancing and hand games, and parade, the Piikani Nation Powwow includes a rodeo with barrel racing, steer riding and breakaway roping.<\/p>\n

Traditional Dancing<\/strong>
\nEach dance requires special regalia. With bells on their dresses, these three are heading to perform the women’s jingle dress dance. All age groups participate in specific dances, including the fancy, traditional, jingle dress, old style chicken and grass dances.<\/p>\n

Teepee Camp<\/strong>
\nDon’t expect a forest of teepees (tipis). Many visitors opt for trailers or hotel rooms. But a few traditional tents make up the scene with staple southern Alberta wind turbines towering in the background.<\/p>\n

Powwow Attire<\/strong>
\nThe dancers’ outfits, decorated with bones, bells or feathers, have intricate designs. The beautiful handcrafted items can take years to make.<\/p>\n
