ABOUT US

The Stoney Nakoda are the original "peoples of the mountains" known in our Nakoda language as Iyarhe Nakoda and previously as the Iyethkabi.  We have continuously used, occupied and possessed  our traditional lands since well before contact with Europeans.  Our traditional territory ranged from the Great Plains when we hunted buffalo to the Rocky Mountain foothills and watersheds where we harvested, fished and hunted big game and over the mountain passes to the British Columbia interior. 

We respectfully acknowledge that the Stoney Nakoda Resort Events Centre stands on Treaty 7 territory, the traditional lands of the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, Tsuu T’ina, and Stoney Nakoda Nations. We honour and thank the many Indigenous peoples who have cared for and been stewards of this land since time immemorial. 

As guests and hosts here, we commit to building respectful relationships and contributing to reconciliation.
