- History Biographical
- The event was recorded on 8mm camera and audio-recorder and photographed by Carl and Magdalena Thum, who visited the event on June 21, 1980 with their little son Claus on their way to Fernie, BC. They learned about the event on the radio and joined other spectators from outside the community. There was a TV crew from Calgary. Being recent immigrants from Denmark, the Thum family were eager to experience connection with "real Indians" in Alberta. The event was reportedly dedicated to the sudden passing of the chief's son who commited suicide. In 2006, the materials were shared with Chief Peter Strikes-with-a-Gun, whose family participated in the ceremony.
