"Crowfoot - Saps Omux Sikau"

At Fort Macleod there was an interesting collection of First Nations Artifacts. There are some original photographs and some oil paintings done, based on those photographs.

 

This one is "Crowfoot - Saps Omux Sikau" Crowfoot was the most powerful of all the First Nations Leaders in the North West during the arrival of the Mounted Police on Dec 1, 1874 Crowfoot travelled Fort Macleod to meet with the Commissioner. The two men established a friendship that was key in the negotiations of Treaty #7.

 

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your week.
