It is based on the testimony of over 80 elders from the five First Nations involved in Treaty 7—the Kainai\, Pikanni\, Siksika\, Stoney\, and Tsuu T’ina. Their recollections highlight the grave misconceptions and misrepresentations between the two sides\, due in part to inadequate interpretation and/or deliberate attempts to mislead. \nWe will be joined by the family of Chief John Snow for this program. As direct decendents of Jacob Goodstoney\, a signor of Treaty 7\, they will help guide our discussion.\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\nThere are several historical accounts of the Treaty 7 agreement between the government and prairie First Nations but none from the perspective of the aboriginal people involved. In spite of their perceived silence\, however\, the elders of each nation involved have maintained an oral history of events\, passing on from generation to generation many stories about the circumstances surrounding Treaty 7 and the subsequent administration of the agreement. The True Spirit and Original Intent of Treaty 7 gathers the “collective memory” of the elders about Treaty 7 to provide unique insights into a crucial historical event and the complex ways of the aboriginal people. \nThe True Spirit and Original Intent of Treaty 7 is based on the testimony of over 80 elders from the five First Nations involved in Treaty 7 – the Bloods\, Peigans\, Siksika\, Stoney\, and Tsuu T’ina. Their recollections highlight the grave misconceptions and misrepresentations between the two sides\, due in part to inadequate interpretation and/or deliberate attempts to mislead. The elders consistently report that the treaty as they understood it was a peace treaty\, not a surrender of land\, and that they had agreed to “share” the land with the white newcomers in exchange for resources to establish new economies – education\, medical assistance\, and annuity payments. \nThe book provides both a historical overview of Treaty 7 and an analysis of the literature on treaties generally and Treaty 7 specifically. It makes clear that different agendas\, different languages\, and different world views affected each side’s interpretation of events. \nThis review of the events and interpretations surrounding Treaty 7 takes place at a time when aboriginal and indigenous peoples all over the world are re-evaluating their relationships with imperial powers. It was undertaken in good faith in hopes that it will begin a dialogue that can alter the dominant discourse of Euro-Canadian society\, which has been so damaging to aboriginal people. \n>> BUY THE BOOK ONLINE URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-the-true-spirit-and-original-intent-of-treaty-7/ LOCATION:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/stories-of-canmore-book-club-the-true-spirit-and-original-intent-of-treaty-7/ CATEGORIES:Book Club,Program,Truth and Reconcilliation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://canmoremuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Treaty-7-painting-e1410195785838.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220627T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220627T173000 DTSTAMP:20260405T164741 CREATED:20220430T204018Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220430T210041Z UID:10000392-1656345600-1656351000@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:MEMBERSHIP MONDAY | GUIDED GEOLOGY WALK DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered how the rugged beauty of Canmore’s mountainous landscape came to be\, or how the landscape has shaped the town?

DESCRIPTION:Head down to the Canmore Opera House for the second night of the Canmore Heritage Festival. What better way to kick off the weekend than with a night of great music by talented southern Alberta-based musicians on the Canmore Opera House stage.\nThis family-focused evening is free for the public; non-perishable items for the Canmore Food Bank will be collected. Non-alcoholic beverages and snacks will be available.\n\nWYATT C. LOUIS \nMARI ROSEHILL \nPHILLIP ALEXANDER NUGENT \nIn partnership with the Canmore Folk Festival\, we are excited to be hosting: \nWYATT C. LOUIS \nLouis is a Cree-Métis folk singer-songwriter based in Moh’kinstsís (Calgary) who has made an impact with songs built from soaring melodies\, railroad-like consistent finger picking paired with quiet\, haunting vocals and lyrical phrasing. Louis’s dark\, rustic tales meld folk and soulful blues to tell tales of love\, loss and the journey home. His songs beautiful\, subtle creations that juxtapose emotions\, striking imagery and experiences that charm and envelope listeners. With the sweet and intimate EP On a Journey for the Long Run\, Louis shows why CBC Music’s weekly “Reclaimed” series named him “one to watch” in 2021. This thoughtful nêhiyaw recently released a single called “Dancing with Sue” as a warm\, huggy dedication to the supportive arts community that he has found in Alberta \nMARI ROSEHILL \nMari Rosehill often reflects on life’s subtleties and expresses it best through song. Ranging from soft\, operatic highs\, to full low tones\, her introspective styled lyrics invite you to take a look into how she thinks. Insecurities that have held her back and beautiful moments that propel her forward. The now sober songstress continues on this search for ones self and her artistry helps along the way. A regular at the Canmore Market and venues about town. Mari was a participant in the 2021 Mentorship Project\, mentoring with festival alumna Ndidi O\, and recently opened for Catherine MacLellan at artsPlace. \nPHILLIP ALEXANDER NUGENT \nThe seeds of Phill Nugent’s folk-rock sound – sometimes whimsical and sometimes gritty – took root in the northern Canadian wilderness where he was raised. The Yukon-born artist’s background in musical theatre (he first took to the stage at age 5) later evolved into songwriting and self-taught guitar. The juxtapositions that inspire Phill’s songs\, like the comfort of family and the freedom of travel\, or the solitude of nature and connection with an audience\, weave rich storylines into his lyrics. Many of the songs on his first studio EP\, self-titled Phillip Alexander Nugent and released in the fall 2019\, are inspired by his wife Michelle and his sons Miles and Beck.\n\nHOSTED IN PARTNESHIP WITH \n\nSPONSORED BY URL:https://canmoremuseum.com/event/concert-in-the-gardens/ LOCATION:Canmore Opera House\, 400 Spring Creek Dr.\, Canmore\, Alberta\, T1W 0C8\, Canada CATEGORIES:Canmore Heritage Festival,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://canmoremuseum.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ConcertGarden.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Canmore Museum":MAILTO:info@canmoremuseum.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220723T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Edmonton:20220723T123000 DTSTAMP:20260405T164741 CREATED:20220502T024313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220714T200050Z UID:10000395-1658574000-1658579400@canmoremuseum.com SUMMARY:HISTORIC DOWNTOWN WALKING TOUR DESCRIPTION:Canmore has changed a great deal since it was founded in 1883\, evolving from a gritty railway depot to a coal mining town and then finally to an international resort destination. As a center first for the railroad and the industry\, Canmore was a place where you played hard and worked hard. Like many mining towns in southern Alberta and southeastern BC\, the community was faced with many economic ups and downs. Over the past century\, its history as a coal mining community has included boom-town architecture\, interesting characters\, exciting events\, and mine disasters. With the closure of the mine in 1979 and Canmore serving as a host community for the 1988 Winter Olympics\, the community has continued to evolve. Today\, it could be argued that as a resort community\, we play harder than we work as we enjoy the incredible mountain vistas and recreational amenities that Canmore offers today. \nWe invite you to experience our rich and colourful past by exploring Canmore’s built heritage and tracing the continued evolution of our community. Our Historical Downtown Walking Tour will take you to 10 places located within in 2 km radius of the Canmore Museum\, each with its own story to tell as part of the cultural and heritage mosaic of Canmore. The tour will start and end at the Canmore Museum.\n\n\nABOUT YOUR GUIDE\nRob Alexander is a journalist\, author\, photographer\, and historian. He grew up in Canmore\, steeped in the history of the Canadian West and the sights and sounds of a coal mining town. With an affinity for ruins and abandoned sites\, he gravitated towards story and sense of place\, leading him to explore and share the history and heritage of the Bow Valley\, Alberta\, and Western Canada. He is a former reporter for the Rocky Mountain Outlook newspaper (still a freelancer though)\, author of The History of Canmore\, published in 2010 by Summerthought Publishing of Banff.

The Canmore NWMP Barracks was built in 1893\, making it one of the oldest buildings in the community.  Drop into the Restoration Open House to learn about the restoration of the building firsthand from those involved in the restoration of the building over a six-year period. Examine the volumes of meticulous research that guided the work of over 130 community volunteers\, and hear what some of the learnings were from the project.

\nThe Canmore NWMP Barracks Restoration Project was a true community heritage project.  Vi Sandford\, co-chair of the restoration committee stated to a local news reporter just shortly before the Barracks’ Grand Opening on July 16\, 1995\, “It’s one of those few projects that every segment of the community—from school kids to seniors to the Town Council—has participated in\, and everyone involved has found it rewarding. It’s quite wonderful.“ \nAfter visiting with members of the original restoration team\, head outside to learn from members of our Heritage Garden volunteer team how the grounds are being maintained today\, and to pick up your package of heritage flower seeds. \nLight refreshments will be served throughout the day.

As a center first for the railroad and the industry\, Canmore was a place where you played hard and worked hard. Like many mining towns in southern Alberta and southeastern BC\, the community was faced with many economic ups and downs. Over the past century\, its history as a coal mining community has included boom-town architecture\, interesting characters\, exciting events\, and mine disasters. With the closure of the mine in 1979 and Canmore serving as a host community for the 1988 Winter Olympics\, the community has continued to evolve. Today\, it could be argued that as a resort community\, we play harder than we work as we enjoy the incredible mountain vistas and recreational amenities that Canmore offers today. \nWe invite you to experience our rich and colourful past by exploring Canmore’s built heritage and tracing the continued evolution of our community. Our Historical Downtown Walking Tour will take you to 10 places located within in 2 km radius of the Canmore Museum\, each with its own story to tell as part of the cultural and heritage mosaic of Canmore. The tour will start and end at the Canmore Museum.\n\n\nABOUT YOUR GUIDE\nRob Alexander is a journalist\, author\, photographer\, and historian. He grew up in Canmore\, steeped in the history of the Canadian West and the sights and sounds of a coal mining town. With an affinity for ruins and abandoned sites\, he gravitated towards story and sense of place\, leading him to explore and share the history and heritage of the Bow Valley\, Alberta\, and Western Canada. He is a former reporter for the Rocky Mountain Outlook newspaper (still a freelancer though)\, author of The History of Canmore\, published in 2010 by Summerthought Publishing of Banff. Rob lives in Calgary where he works as the digitization specialist for Libraries and Cultural resources at the University of Calgary.

Grotto Canyon has a long and intimate relationship with Indigenous people from this area. There are important landmarks\, signs\, and even message boards left on the land that are read in a unique way by those of us who have learned to understand. \nThough many who have studied the pictographs in the canyon through academia have formed theories on the pictographs. Program participants will have an opportunity to learn from the cultural teachings that give a very different perspective on the canyon\, the pictographs\, the landscape and the other elements that give rise to the story of Grotto Canyon. \nPlease arrive at the Canmore Museum (located at 902B 7th Avenue in downtown Canmore)\, where the tour will begin\, 15 minutes early. From here\, group members will travel on their own to the trail head. This 2.5-hour long hike will be led at a relaxed walking pace and with plenty of stops to learn about Indigenous plant uses. The terrain uses well-established trails; the tour is rated easy.\n\nJordan Ebe is a Metis guide with Mahikan Trails. \nABOUT YOUR GUIDE\nMahikan Trails is an Indigenous eco-tourism company that provides guided walks and workshops operated by Brenda Holder and her son Jordan Ede. \nEde has been giving tours with Mahikan Trails for the past 20 years\, and his connection to the land will be obvious from your first steps onto the trail. He has a story for seemingly every plant we walk past\, from buffaloberries (a key food source for bears\, who will eat as many as 200\,000 per day) to spruce trees (“A pharmacy\, hardware store and grocery store all in one!”). Some of Ede’s knowledge of the Bow Valley comes from his professional life\, but mostly this is information that his family has been using for generations. When Ede woke up in the middle of the night with a painful toothache\, his mom Brenda treated it with the same propolis—a resin-like substance made by bees from poplar buds—that was in turn passed down to her.

On Saturday and Sunday of the Canmore Heritage Festival\, we are reviving the matinee movie tradition\, bringing some of the fun\, fabulous movies from the 1950s to the big screen at artsPlace Canmore!\nADMISSION: FREE | DONATIONS WELCOME\n1950s dress is encouraged\, but not required! \nRefreshments Available: Popcorn – $3.75 | Grizzly Paw Sodas – $2.75 | Bubly – $2.00\n\n\n1:00 PM | FORBIDDEN PLANET\nNo 1950s movie festival could be complete without a sci-fi movie! In this sci-fi classic\, a spacecraft travels to the distant planet Altair IV to discover the fate of a group of scientists sent there decades earlier. When Commander John J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) and his crew arrive\, they discover only two people: Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter\, Altaira (Anne Francis)\, who was born on the remote planet. Soon\, Adams begins to uncover the mystery of what happened on Altair IV\, and why Morbius and Altaira are the sole survivors. \nGenre: Science Fiction | Release date: March 15\, 1956\nRun time: 1h 38m \nMovie trivia: The Forbidden Planet is based on the play The Tempest by William Shakespear. The famous poster for the film shows a menacing robot carrying a struggling pretty girl – a staple of monster movie posters from the 1950’s; in fact\, no such scene occurs in the film itself. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry has been quoted as saying that this film was a major inspiration for that series. The film was the debut of Leslie Nielson.\n\n\n3:00 PM | FOREVER DARLING\nAfter five years of marriage\, Susan (Lucille Ball) and Lorenzo Vega (Desi Arnaz) have grown apart from each other. Lorenzo is a chemist who has been working long hours on a new insecticide\, making Susan feel neglected. However\, Susan starts seeing her Guardian Angel (James Mason)\, who advises her to try to support her husband. So she agrees to go on a camping trip during which Lorenzo will be testing a new bug formula\, even though Susan knows nothing about surviving outdoors. \nGenre: Comedy\, Fantasy | Release date: 1956\nRun time: 1h 36m \nMovie Trivia: The script had been around for years at MGM. It was originally going to be a movie for William Powell and Myrna Loy. A couple of years later it was planned for Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. However\, both projects fell through and the script was forgotten about. Years later Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz showed interest in making another movie and they picked this script. The film was done at the height of the popularity of the I Love Lucy tv show; filming commenced in mid-June 1955\, while Ball and Arnaz were on hiatus from filming their tv series.

The Banff-Bow Valley is the heart of spiritual and economic life for the Nakoda people. Beginning with the Treaty 7 agreement (1877)\, the Nakoda were displaced from the region by the reserve system and the creation of Canada’s first national park. In Spirits of the Rockies\, Courtney W. Mason explores the history and cultural heritage of the Stoney Nakoda as they reasserted their presence in the 20th century becoming involved in local tourism economies and the Banff Indian Days summer sporting festivals. Based on oral histories with Nakoda Elders and written with the guidance of Nakoda artist and elder activist\, Rolland Rollinmud and Nakoda Nation research director\, Ian A.L. Getty\, the book tackles the publicly little known history of these Indigenous peoples and their relationship with the Banff-Bow Valley. \nPurchase the book through the Canmore Museum Online Shop. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nDr. Courtney Mason is a Professor and Canada Research Chair (renewed in 2020) in Rural Livelihoods and Sustainable Communities. He is cross appointed between Natural Resource Science and the Tourism Management Department at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia. \nCourtney completed his PhD at the University of Alberta where he investigated the displacement of Indigenous peoples in the formation of Banff National Park.  Along with the history of educational institutions on the Nakoda reserve at Morley\, his dissertation focused on colonial power relations and the experiences of Nakoda peoples in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. He worked as a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow with the Indigenous Health Research Group at the University of Ottawa where he contributed to community-based food security and health programs in rural Northern Ontario (Oji-Cree) and the Northwest Territories (Dene and Métis). \nHis current research examines rural and Indigenous land use development with a focus on tourism economies and protected area management. He is also interested in rural food security\, sport fishing tourism\, conservation practices and environmental change. He is the author of Spirits of the Rockies: Reasserting an Indigenous Presence in Banff National Park (U of Toronto Press\, 2014) and the co-editor of A Land Not Forgotten: Indigenous Food Security and Land-Based Practices in Northern Ontario (U of Manitoba Press\, 2017).  His research program is funded by SSHRC\, CIHR\, the Canadian Mountain Network and BC Parks. He is a SSHRC Leaders representative. \nIn his spare time you will find him fly fishing on local rivers and stillwater\, skiing and hiking with his young family in the Kamloops region and throughout BC.
