Little Big Man: National Aboriginal Days in Jasper National Park, June 2010

Two Mountain Cree dancers pose after performing traditional dances as part of the Aboriginal Days celebrations in Jasper, June 19 and June 20.

Many of the natives taking part in the festivities - including First Nations, Métis and non-status Indians - were descendants of the native people who lived, hunted and trapped in the Jasper area before it became a national park.
