ANFF Indian Day—always the third Monday and
�!! i Tuesday in Juiye was this year the most successful of
its kind ever he'd in the thirty-two years since its inaugura-
tion. An'atmosphere of festivity prevailed the two days the
tribe of six hundred Stoney Indians were at ,Banff, the cen-
tre of that most beautiful part'of the Canadian Pacific
1Iockies.
No place in the world could have a more perfect setting
;tor an event such as this, and what could be more picturesque
than the Tschantoga Ialdians "people of the woods," in
their native.costumes amid these Great Hills, There is a
dignity and poise to - these people of the `woods �-- cahn,
strong faces with character written in every line and seam
;of their countenances.
The parade started at nine thirty, and circled around the
inapt street twice before going to the Banff Springs Hotel.
The streets en route to . the hotel were thronged with reoi-
§ ,end tourists, and the steps of the hotel at court were

esserts it was well worth' traveliiaig hundreds of miles to tee.
Jim chiefs rode at the head of the procession and looked
h mesque in their cesturnes of buck -skin and bead work,
stud gay head -pieces of feathers and ermine. Not only were
the natives decked out in their gala attire, but the horses also
shared hi the pomp and splendour, Their trappings Were
tnatio of buckskin, with patterns worked in beads, the col-
oring and designs of superb worktnanshiip,_ Skits were also,.
asr:d, and trappings of bead work and ermine. A few
horses were painted in symmetrical designs of various col-
ors. The higher the rank of their rider the more beautiful
and seedy the trappings.
The shorts were held in the encampment grounds on one
'which the'Indians had erected their picturesque
wigwams. 0 The grand; stand was packed and thousands
were present, and never rn the history of Banff was this
c;;<ent so well attc+nded, Cats were lined up to alt dir'ec-
