About this copy
From the ancient campfires near the site of Banff to the Stoney people who shared their festivals there for decades, this richly illustrated history traces the lives of the mountain Indians of the Canadian Rockies. Author Jon Whyte, born and raised in Banff, draws on family recollections, explorers' journals and the heritage collection of the Whyte Museum to tell the story. He is an award-winning poet, and his storytelling is warm and vivid.
A handsome hardback complete with its dust jacket, featuring Paul Kane's striking portrait of the Stoney chief Mah-Min on the front cover and a hand-coloured lantern slide of Maligne Canyon on the back.
