SUMMARY:Indigenous People's Day - Canada US Border Walk -  - 21 Jun 24 09:3
 0
DESCRIPTION:Support Indigenous People's Day by joining the Yaq?it ?a·knuq?
 i ‘it - Tobacco Plains Indian Band to honour the Jay Treaty and recogniz
 e the homelands of the Ktunaxa. \n\nThe Border walk is part of reconciliat
 ion and awareness that the border divided the Ktunaxa People - whose land 
 stretches across Southeastern BC and Northern Montana and Idaho\, and as f
 ar as Alberta and Washington - and showcases that the border doesn't defin
 e the Ktunaxa.\n\nMembers of the Ktunaxa bands\, along with Sister tribes 
 from the States\, will attend and walk together across the Roosville Borde
 r Crossing\, approx 45 minutes south of Fernie on Hwy #93. Visitors are we
 lcome to join the walk.\n\nParticipants should arrive at the Border at 9:3
 0 am\, with the walk departing at 10am. The event has grown over the past 
 10 years\, and a large attendance is expected.\n\nAfter the walk\, there w
 ill be events at the Yaq?it ?a·knuq?i ‘it - Tobacco Plains Indian Band 
 Administration building at 5500 Village Loop Road in Grasmere\, including:
 \n• Lunch\n• Live music from George Canyon\n• Dance Demonstrations\n
 • Live Pow Wow drum\n• Traditional games\n\nThis is a great event to c
 elebrate\, show solidarity\, and learn about the people who have called th
 is place home for generations. Donations will be accepted. \n\nRead more a
 bout the Yaq?it ?a·knuq?i ‘it - Tobacco Plains Indian Band\, and the Kt
 unaxa Homelands.\n\nJune 21 was chosen as National Indigenous Peoples Day 
 in cooperation with national Indigenous organizations and the Government o
 f Canada. The date was specifically selected because many Indigenous peopl
 es celebrate their culture and heritage on or near this day. The day is al
 so significant because it’s the summer solstice (the longest day of the 
 year).\n\n\n
