Bjorge Chair Recording Secretary January 21, 2021 Minutes Regular Meeting of the Banff Heritage Corporation, Page 3 of 3 Landmarks and Legends - Siding 29 (DRAFT for Banff Heritage Corporation) 007 Since time immemorial, indigenous people have gathered, camped, hunted, and healed at the foot of a mountain noted for cascading mînî hrpa (waterfalls in the Nakoda language). The buffalo and other wildlife roaming the nearby prairie and meadows were a part of indigenous sustenance, spiritual, and cultural practices of the land. European explorers, yet unaware of the nearby hot springs, would also mention both waterfall and prairie as the area’s most prominent features. Sir George Simpson trekked through in 1841 and Sir James Hector of the Palliser Expedition camped there in 1858. Surrounded by sheer verticality, the grasslands and aspen forests would set the stage for the introduction of steel rails and iron horses cutting a lasting path to the settlement we know today as Banff. 1881-1884 The modern settlement period of Banff began with the arrival of Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R.) surveyors in 1881. Major A.B Rogers headed a party of 75, which included explorer-outfitter Tom Wilson and chief- surveyor Frederick Aylmer, to find a suitable route through the mountains from their base at Kananaskis.
