Historical & Cultural Learning at Blackfoot Crossing

“Blackfoot Crossing, the Historical Site of the signing of Treaty No.7, is of National and International historical and archaeological significance. It is a designated national Heritage Site and is recommended to be a World Heritage Site. The success of the Treaty No.7 Commemoration in 1977 intensified the Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation’s vision of building a unique world-class tourist attraction designed to engage visitors in authentic cultural experiences with the Blackfoot people. The Siksika people are proud to present Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park to the world” as posted on their website.

Our Local 38 PD Committee has booked a tour for the participants to help navigate the historical and cultural exhibits and stories of the Blackfoot People.
