Big Hill Springs Provincial Park

Big Hill Springs Provincial Park is a provincial park in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains, about 40 kilometres (20 mi) northwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It features a series of springs and small waterfalls that flow year-round over rocky terraces covered with a lush growth of mosses, shrubs, and grasses. The park also includes the ruins of a historic fish hatchery and Alberta's first commercial creamery. The main activities at the park are hiking, picnicking, scenic viewing, wildlife watching, and photography. Natural setting A series of springs feed the small stream that flows through the park, and its waterfalls flow across deposits of tufa that precipitated from the spring water. The springs and stream have consistently high year-round flow rates, which is probably why the old creamery and the fish hatchery were established there. The spring water comes primarily from a layer of gravel, or sand and gravel, that was deposited by streams that flowed prior to the latest Wisconsin glaciation. The water issues from the contact between those sediments and the underlying bedrock, which is part of the late Paleocene Paskapoo Formation. When the spring water reaches the surface, dissolved carbon dioxide is released and calcium carbonate precipitates, forming the tufa. The tufa tends to coat plant material such as mosses, twigs, and logs. Casts of plant material can sometimes be seen in the tufa if one looks closely. The spring-fed stream flows into Big Hill Creek at the east end of the park, which in turn flows into the Bow River at Cochrane. The valley of Big Hill Creek was carved by meltwater flowing from retreating glaciers at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation. Big Hill Creek is now an underfit stream; that is, its current flow rate is not high enough to have carved the valley through which it flows.

Big Lake is a lake in Edmonton metropolitan region, Canada. It is located adjacent to the northwest corner of Edmonton and the southwest corner of St. Albert. Its primary inflow is the Sturgeon River. The lake sits on the sands and gravels of the Empress Formation, an aquifer 30 m (98 ft) below its surface that was laid down by retreating glacial meltwaters. Big Lake is part of the 260 km (160 mi) long Sturgeon River that begins at Hoople Lake and flows east to the North Saskatchewan River. Atim Creek flows into Big Lake from the west and Carrot Creek from the north. Big Lake is home to as much as 235 different types of birds. The western bay of the lake provides rare nesting habitat for Franklin's gulls. The Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park is established on the shore of the lake. History Big Lake's name comes from the Cree people of the area, who named the lake on account of its size. Alberta Fish and Wildlife considers Big Lake to be one of the 20 most important habitat areas in Alberta.

Bigstone Cree Nation

The Bigstone Cree Nation (Cree: ᐅᐸᓯᑯᓂᐍᐤ, opasikoniwew) is a First Nations band government in Alberta, Canada. As Woodland Cree, they are a western branch of the larger Cree nation, and are a party to Treaty 8 with Canada. The Bigstone Cree Nation was divided into two bands in 2010, with one group continuing under the former name, and the other becoming the Peerless Trout First Nation. History The forerunners of the Bigstone Cree signed onto Treaty 8 in 1899 and were provided with reserved lands based on a population survey. The Bigstone claimed that the lands they were assigned were not large enough based on the 1913 and 1937 population surveys. Band members settled into five communities all named after nearby lakes: Calling Lake, Chipewyan Lake, Peerless Lake, Trout Lake and Wabasca. The band has six reserves totalling 21,066.6 hectares (52,057 acres). These included 166 A, 166 B, 166 C, 166 D, all in the vicinity of the Hamlet of Wabasca (also known as Wabasca-Desmarais), 166 south of the Hamlet of Sandy Lake, and Jean Baptiste Gambler Reserve 183 surrounded by the Hamlet of Calling Lake. All of these reserves are surrounded by the Municipal District of Opportunity No. 17. In 2007, there were 6,781 registered Bigstone Cree, of which 2,397 were living on reserve. The people living at Chipewyan Lake, Peerless Lake, and Trout Lake and lived off-reserve on Crown land and did not have access to the same services available to those at Wabasca. The Canadian government accepted the claim in 1998 and negotiations began which resulted in a settlement in 2010, the largest land settlement in Alberta's history. The agreement ended with the separation of the Peerless Trout First Nation from the Bigstone Cree, and new reserve lands for both bands. The Calling Lake reserve was slightly enlarged and a new reserve was created at Chipewyan Lake. Annual events The Bigstone Cree First Nation host the annual Treaty Days Festivities in August of each year, celebrating their culture, language and achievements. Reserves Indian Reserves under the administration of Bigstone Cree Nation are: Wabasca 166 (Cree: ᓴᑭᑕᐘᓯᕽ, sakitawasihk) 8452.40 ha Wabasca 166A (Cree: ᑲᐊᓯᓂᐢᑲᓯᐠ, ka-asiniskasik) 682.10 ha Wabasca 166B (Cree: ᒋᐸᐢᑲᐣᓯᕽ, cipaskansihk) 2413.40 ha Wabasca 166C (Cree: ᑭᓯᐱᑲᒪᕽ, kisipikamahk) 3502.60 ha Wabasca 166D (Cree: ᒧᐢᑯᑌᐠ, muskotêk) 5817.40 ha Jean Baptiste Gambler 183 198.70 ha Desmarais Settlement Notable people Lance Cardinal, a visual artist who hosts the APTN children's art education series Indigenous Art Adventures, is a member of the Bigstone Cree Nation.

Blackfoot Crossing

Blackfoot Crossing Historical Park is a complex of historic sites on the Siksika 146 Indian reserve in Alberta, Canada. This crossing of the Bow River was traditionally a bison-hunting and gathering place for the Siksika people and their allies in the Blackfoot Confederacy. The nearest towns are Cluny and Gleichen, in Wheatland County. Treaty 7 The crossing became an important place in Canadian history when Treaty 7 was signed here between the native nations of what is now southern Alberta and the Canadian government on behalf of the Crown in 1877. It was also here that Crowfoot, chief of the Siksika, is believed to have died and been buried. As well, Poundmaker, a Cree chief who had been ceremonially adopted by Crowfoot to create peace between the Blackfoot and the Cree, was also buried here until being moved in 1967. In 1925 the traditional gathering site and the treaty signing site were declared National Historic Sites of Canada by the federal government's Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. In 1972, the earthlodge village was also declared a national historic site. In 1977, Prince Charles visited the site to help commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the treaty. After the success of this event the Siksika council wanted to build the site into a historical and tourist attraction and began fundraising and planning. In 2007 the historical park opened, which includes an interpretive centre; monuments to Poundmaker, Crowfoot, and Treaty 7; teepee remains; hiking trails; and the earthlodge village site. Earthlodge village Nearby are the remains of an ancient earthlodge village, believed to have been built by people from the Upper Mississippi valley in what is now the United States. It is unique in being an example of a permanent village on the plains: an area associated with nomadic hunting. The earthlodge village is the only known one of its type on the Canadian Prairies, though they are common in parts of the United States. The creators of the earthlodge village are not known with certainty, but archaeological evidence points to it being founded around 1740 CE, possibly by a band of migrating Mandan people or their allies the Hidatsa (possibly before the Hidatsa and Crow people split).
