Blackfoot Crossing |
Opening Summer 2007
Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park has been a
meeting place for thousands of years and is
steeped in the history of the Blackfoot people.
Visit Chief Crowfoot’s last teepee site, Chief
Poundmaker’s monument, the site where Treaty
7 was signed in 1877, and the Earthlodge Village
site believed to have been built by Mandan
people in the mid 1700’s. Stroll through the hills
nearby and see the largest intact riverine
ecosystem of its kind in North America.
Experience the programs, dancing, Blackfoot
story-telling, and the timeless atmosphere with
Siksika people as your hosts.
This site is open year round (reduced winter
hours) and is located on the Siksika Nation
Reserve, 1 hour east of Calgary on Highway #1,
then 10 km south on route 842.
