ABOUT

NINASTAKO CULTURAL CENTRE

Chief Mountain, or Ninastako, is a prominent geographic feature which encompasses cultural and spiritual significance for the Blackfoot. The proposed First Nations’ cultural centre, named Ninastako Cultural Centre, will preserve the Blackfoot culture and promote cross-cultural awareness by capitalizing on traditional storytelling.
 
The stories will be shared from the pinnacle view of Ninastako, sharing the lives of the Blackfoot in and around southern AB as they roamed the prairies and adapted to the introduction of settlers, horses, firearms, the railway, and eventually, the changes to their lifestyle with the depletion of the buffalo and the introduction of reserves.
