The Indian Relay races are one of the most exciting events at the Calgary Stampede. Inspired by the incredible display of athleticism by the athletes and horses, this banner reflects the connection of horses to urban Indigenous communities.
One of the horses has a red handprint on it, to give honour to our missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit kin.
