A Canadian War Memorial and a small commemorative park is located in the village of St. Julien in Belgium. The designer of the monument, The Brooding Soldier, was a Regina architect, Frederick Chapman Clemesha, who was wounded while serving with the Canadian Corps during the war. There is an opportunity to create an interpretive kiosk or plaque on St. Julien Road telling the story about the name and the importance of St. Julien. Examples of plaques are in front of heritage buildings around Banff. An example of an interpretive kiosk is the nature information on the Bow River Trail. We are looking for feedback on whether you would like to see an interpretive sign on St.

  • The Rocky Mountain Region
    Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 18 Chapter 2 The Rocky Mountain Region What makes the Rocky Mountain region a unique part of Alberta? My Dad works for the Canadian National Railway, and our family moved to Jasper because of his work. I think living in the Rocky Mountain region is like living in the middle of a silvery crown. In the Rocky Mountains, you can see snow on the mountain tops, even during the summer. My new friends at school pointed out a mountain called Roche Bonhomme (rosh boh num), a French phrase that means “good fellow rock.” It is also called Old Man Mountain. If you stand in Jasper and look up at the mountains in the northeast, you will see what looks like a sleeping man. Whenever I leave my house, I always look up at him and silently send him my greetings. On my birthday, I was given my own camera. I took the picture you see here and many others. This is a beautiful area in all four seasons. My photos tell part of Alberta’s story. I think you can really see the side view of the sleeping man’s face in this photo of Roche Bonhomme. 18 NEL Chapter 02 5/5/06 3:40 PM Page 19 What I Want to Know… …About the Rocky Mountain Region The Rocky Mountain region begins at the southwestern border of Alberta. It is part of the Rocky Mountain chain. The mountains run northwest and southeast along the western side of North America.

  • Bow Valley Food Alliance Association, PO Box 4605, Banff, AB T1L 1E8 [email protected]
    March 4, 2021 Attention: Mayor and Council Town of Canmore Re: Smith Creek Area Structure Plan and Village Centre Area Structure Plan Amendment On behalf of the Bow Valley Food Alliance the Board of Directors is writing to express our opposition to the proposed Smith Creek Area Structure Plan and Village Centre Area Structure Plan Amendment. We ask you to consider the negative impacts related to food that such a development will have on the community. The Bow Valley Food Alliance is a network of community members, agencies and food stakeholders committed to creating local food systems that are healthy, socially just, collaborative, diverse, and accessible. These systems are based in vibrant regional economies, respect for the earth and environment, reconciliation, intergenerational knowledge, system innovation and education. Our board includes representatives from health, indigenous relations, education and research, community development and local food producers. We have been in existence since 2016 and formalized as a society in 2020. Our work is grounded in the communities from Lake Louise to Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, and supported by research. Over the past two and a half years we have facilitated community-based conversations and developed the attached Food Charter. A Food Charter is a set of principles outlined by a community that articulates what they want their food systems to look like, including how they grow, harvest, process, distribute, prepare, eat, and dispose of their food. In addition, we have recently conducted research in partnership with Dr. Lauren Kepkiewicz a post-doctoral researcher from the University of Calgary. This research project has collected and collated data both prior to and during COVID 19 related to residents’ food security.

  • Histories in Relation: Viewing Archival Photographs of Banff Indian Days with Stoney Nakoda Elders
    Master of Arts – Integrated Studies HISTORIES IN RELATION: VIEWING ARCHIVAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF BANFF INDIAN DAYS WITH STONEY NAKODA ELDERS By DAGNY DUBOIS Integrated Studies Final Project Project (MAIS 701) submitted to Dr. Carol Payne in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Athabasca, Alberta February 2018 Master of Arts – Integrated Studies Abstract In the archival record, photographs of Banff Indian Days have been framed primarily through a Settler lens. A more balanced approach to these images and the historical analysis of Settler-Indigenous relations during this event is needed. Using an interdisciplinary approach along with methodologies inspired by Indigenous epistemologies, I presented photographs of Banff Indian Days taken by Catharine and Peter Whyte in 1945-55 to Stoney Nakoda Elders in a series of interviews. By employing the notion of photographs as ‘relational objects’ as outlined by scholars such as Elizabeth Edwards, I seek to understand this concept of relationality and how it aligns with Stoney Nakoda perspectives. In this case study, the voices of Stoney Nakoda Elders, Catharine Whyte (via her written letters), and myself are included as a way to reframe photographs of Banff Indian Days in a multivocal and multiperspectival way.

  • Tribes of Montana and How They Got Their Names
    Tribes of Montana and How They Got Their Names Transcript Running Time: 34 minutes CHAPTER 1 TRIBES OF MONTANA Sally Thompson Today we’ll learn about the tribes of Montana and how they got their names. This subject takes us back to the early 1800s when sign language was commonly used to communicate with people who didn’t know each other’s languages. Of the names we use today for Montana tribes, some come from names other tribes gave them and others came from European misunderstandings of sign language. We’ll learn the signs used to refer to the different tribes, some of which were misinterpreted and led to the names we use today. We will also learn the names the tribes use to refer to themselves. To begin, listen to the names we use today for the tribes of Montana and get a sense of where they now live. Clover Smith: Assiniboine Iris Prettypaint: Blackfeet Darcy Anaquad: Chippewa Darcy Anaquad: Cree Stan Prettypaint: Crow Darrell Martin: Gros Ventre Frances Vanderburg: Kootenai Ward Redbird: Northern Cheyenne Francis Cullooyah: Pend d’Oreille Frances Vanderburg: Salish Clover Smith: Sioux CHAPTER 2 (1:55) SIGN LANGUAGE, MISNOMERS Sally Thompson In the 1830s a fur trader named Warren Ferris was intrigued by some of the strange and inappropriate names he heard for tribes in the region. According to Ferris many tribes had names that described some physical characteristic: Flat-heads; Pierced-noses; Big-Bellys; but that none of the tribes displayed the noted physical traits. He wrote about this in his journal. For the first group, the Flatheads, he noticed that not one showed any signs of a deformed head.

  • Brief History of Coal-Mining in the Bow Valley by Ben Gadd, 2014
    Brief History of Coal-mining in the Bow Valley By Ben Gadd, 2014 Walter Riva, former manager of Canmore Mines and author of a definitive mining history of the area,* notes that the aboriginal Stoney/Nakoda people knew of coal along Devil’s Creek, the original outflow of Devil’s Lake, now dammed to become Lake Minnewanka. The first written account of coal in the Bow Valley is often credited to Pierre-Jean de Smet, a Belgian Catholic missionary who was working out of St. Louis. However, in his Oregon Missions and Travels over the Rocky Mountains in 1845–46, de Smet makes no mention of coal in the Bow Valley or its surroundings.† What de Smet does say about coal begins on page 159 — In pursuing our route, the 27th [of September, 1845] on one of the branches of the river “a la Biche” (Red Deer on the maps) [his parentheses], we remarked several sulphurous fountains, which furnish great quantities of sulphur, and a coal mine, apparently very abundant. I here beg the favor of a short digression from my subject. Coal abounds east of the Rocky Mountains, on the border of the Missouri and the Yellow Rock, on the Sascatshawin and Athabasca.” He had to be speaking of foothills and prairie coal, which he saw exposed along rivers east of the front ranges. Thus, crediting de Smet as the discoverer of Bow Valley coal is probably incorrect. We do know that George Dawson, Alfred Selwyn and Eugene Coste collected coal along the Cascade River in 1883 as part of the Geological Survey of Canada’s mapping project along the new Canadian Pacific Railway line.
