The land
Treaty 7 land, Stoney Nakoda hosts
Before it was a resort, this was — and still is — the home country of the Stoney Nakoda.
Peoples of the mountains
The Stoney Nakoda are the original peoples of the mountains, known in the Nakoda language as Iyarhe Nakoda and earlier as the Iyethkabi. They have used, occupied and cared for their traditional lands continuously since well before contact with Europeans.
Their territory reached from the Great Plains, where the buffalo were hunted, to the foothills and watersheds of the Rockies, and across the mountain passes into the interior of what is now British Columbia.
Land acknowledgement
Stoney Nakoda Resort 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.
Visiting with respect
Mînî Thnî is a living community, not a backdrop. Stay on public roads and trails, ask before photographing people or ceremonies, and leave the land as you found it.
