A Kainai fancy dancer's regalia was stolen out of his vehicle in Penbrooke Meadows in southeast Calgary on Friday. Young Pine, 33, said that after 10 days straight of dancing at the Calgary Stampede, he might have been absent-minded and forgot to lock the vehicle. Custom beadwork, a set of hackle bustles and a set of eagle bustles — all part of a personalized, recognizable outfit — were stolen. "A piece of my soul was gone when I opened that [suitcase]," said Young Pine. Eagle feathers are rare, and his set of eagle bustles was made in South Dakota.
