    June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. A time to honour the cultures, traditions, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples across Canada. Taking place on summer solstice, the longest day of the year, it marks a time of renewal, connection and celebration and it holds a deep spiritual and cultural significance for many Indigenous Peoples.

    Join us on June 21 to appreciate, and acknowledge the past and present contributions of Indigenous Peoples to this treasured place we call Bar U Ranch.

    Visit a demonstration Stoney Nakoda teepee encampment, join the sharing circle and blessing by Terry Daniels of the Bearspaw Stoney Nakoda First Nation.
