Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies

We acknowledge that we are on traditional Treaty 7 territory. This treaty was signed in 1877 with the Stoney Nakoda Nation (Bearspaw, Chiniki, Wesley), the Blackfoot Confederacy (Kainai, Piikani, Siksika), the Tsuut’ ina and Queen Victoria. Historically, there is a long standing connection to this valley by many Indigenous Nations who travelled the area - the Ktunaxa, Secwepemc, Métis, Dene & Mountain Cree, along with the Tsuut’ ina, Blackfoot and Stoney Nakoda peoples. Peter Whyte and Catharine Robb Whyte, the founders of the Whyte Museum, shared a unique friendship with several Stoney Nakoda families. We honour this relationship and are deeply appreciative of the fact that we too are guests here in this very special place.
