©2025 Calgary Stampede - All Rights Reserved

The Calgary Stampede is situated on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Piikani, Kainai), Tsuut’ina, and Îyâxe Nakoda (Bearspaw, Chiniki, Goodstoney) First Nations. Calgary is also Métis Nation of Alberta Districts 5 and 6. These lands have always been a gathering place and we are proud to continue that tradition.
