The City of Calgary is situated on land adjacent to where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, and the traditional Blackfoot name of this place is “Mohkinstsis”. Calgary is traditional territory of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta, which includes: The Blackfoot Nation tribes of Siksika, Piikani, Kainai; the Stoney Nakoda Nation tribes of Wesley, Bearspaw, Chiniki ; and the Tsuut’ina Nation. Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III, the Inuit, and other urban Indigenous Peoples.
