The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies serves as a gathering place to explore the evolving history, peoples, cultures, environment, and ideas of mountain cultures.
Historically, there is a longstanding connection to the Bow Valley around Banff for many Indigenous nations – the Iyârhe (Stoney Nakoda), Blackfoot, Tsuut’ina, Ktunaxa (Kootenay), Secwépemc (Shuswap), Dene, Mountain Cree, and Métis.
