History in the Hills offers 1870s style in Cypress Hills
Cypress Hills Provincial Park hosts History in the Hills this weekend, a public open house with teepee stations, bannock making, and demonstrations of Metis, Blackfoot, and Cree culture. Metis elders Shirley McDonald and Teddy Boy Houle perform on the fiddle, while archaeologists at the University of Calgary share 7800 years of artifacts. The event runs 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, with guided stations and Native performances at the Elkwater Stampede grounds.
