Two dancers share a moment after performing in the Welcome Dance ceremony, part of the National Aboriginal Days celebrations in Jasper on June 20, 2010.
Most natives - including non-status Indians, Métis and First Nations - left the area when it became a national park. It wasn't exactly their idea.
Many of those native groups with traditional ties to the land were back in Jasper for the June 19-20 weekend.
Scores of white folks who joined in the Friendship Dance thought that it was about time.
