The Border walk is part of reconciliation and awareness that the border divided the Ktunaxa People - whose land stretches across Southeastern BC and Northern Montana and Idaho, and as far as Alberta and Washington - and showcases that the border doesn't define the Ktunaxa.

Members of the Ktunaxa bands, along with Sister tribes from the States, will attend and walk together across the Roosville Border Crossing, approx 45 minutes south of Fernie on Hwy #93. Visitors are welcome to join the walk.

Participants should arrive at the Border at 9:30 am, with the walk departing at 10am. The event has grown significantly in recent years, and a large attendance is expected.

After the walk, there will be events at:

YQT Admin Building (Yaq?it ?a·knuq?i ‘it - Tobacco Plains Indian Band Administration Building)
5500 Village Loop Road in Grasmere

including:

• Lunch
• Dance Demonstrations
• Live Pow Wow drum
• Traditional games

This is a great event to celebrate, show solidarity, and learn about the people who have called this place home for generations. Donations will be accepted.

Following the daytime event, the first annual Stick Game Tournament will be held at the YQT Admin Building from 5pm.
