Peerless Trout First Nation hosted a small Tipi Village at the 62nd annual High Prairie Elks Pro Rodeo July 30-31.

Indigenous food was served. The tipi camp returned to the rodeo in 2018 after about 50 years as a dream of the late Frank Pratt, who passed away April 3, 2024 at 97 years. In the past few years, the village has featured displays of history, culture, drumming and dancing presented by several Indigenous communities. Pratt remembered even before the High Prairie Elks Pro Rodeo that teams of Indigenous people would travel by horse-drawn wagons from far distances and camp on the rodeo grounds one week before the rodeo started.
