indigenous culture

KTUNAXA FIRST NATION

KTUNAXA (PRONOUNCED ‘K-TOO-NAH-HA’) PEOPLE HAVE OCCUPIED THE LANDS ADJACENT TO THE KOOTENAY AND COLUMBIA RIVERS AND THE ARROW LAKES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA FOR MORE THAN 15,000 YEARS.

ʔakisqakⱡiʔit (ah-kiss-gakth-lee-it), the place “Two Valleys Coming Together”, is central to the Rocky Mountain Trench in the Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, a place the ʔaq’amnik people call home. A place now known as Cranbrook.

Cranbrook resides in Ktunaxa ʔamakʔis, the homeland of the Ktunaxa Nation. Scientific evidence has dated Ktunaxa presence as far back as 15,000 years ago. For thousands of years the Ktunaxa people enjoyed the natural bounty of the Kootenay region, seasonally migrating throughout Ktunaxa ʔamakʔis, hunting and gathering.

Led by the dignified and respected Chief Isadore, the Ktunaxa people’s lives were changed forever by the challenges brought forth by European settlement in the late 1800s. These included the establishment of a residential school, and federally imposed land policies which eventually lead to the creation of the present day Indian Bands. Today, the four Ktunaxa communities, ʔakisq nuk First Nation, ʔaq’am, ʔakink um asnuq iʔit (Tobacco Plains Indian Band) and yaqan nukiy (Lower Kootenay Band) have worked with great effort to restore their culture and their language. If you visit the St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino, located near ʔaq’am Community nearest Cranbrook, you will witness the strength of the Ktunaxa people. Previously a residential school, and responsible for tearing away their culture and language, it is now one of Canada’s most beautiful destination resorts, 100% owned by the Ktunaxa Nation.

DID

YOU KNOW? THE KTUNAXA LANGUAGE IS A LANGUAGE ISOLATE, MEANING THAT IT IS LINGUISTICALLY UNIQUE AND UNRELATED TO ANY OTHER LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD.

THE KTUNAXA CREATION STORY

The Ktunaxa people have been in this area since Naⱡmuqȼin fulfilled his prophecy and placed the Ktunaxa people in this area to be the keepers of the land. At that time there was some disturbance caused by a huge water monster known as Yawuʔnik, who killed many of the animals. It was decided that Yawuʔnik had to be destroyed. A war party was formed. Yawuʔnik plied the Kootenay (wu·u ʔaqsⱡmaknik ʔakinmituk) and Columbia (Miȼqaqas) River System. When Yawuʔnik was killed, and butchered and distributed among the animals, Yawuʔnik’s ribs were scattered throughout the region that now form the Hoodoos seen throughout the region.

When the prophecy was fulfilled the spirit animals ascended above and are now the guiding spirits of the Ktunaxa. In all the excitement Naⱡmuqȼin rose to his feet and stood upright hitting his head on the ceiling of the sky. He knocked himself dead. His feet went northward and is today known as Ya·kⱡiki, in the Yellowhead Pass vicinity. Naⱡmuqȼin’s head is near Yellowstone Park in the State of Montana. His body forms the Rocky Mountains. www.ktunaxa.org/who-we-are/creation-story/

early settlement

EXPLORATION | GOLD RUSH | RAILROADS

CRANBROOK HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM ITS EARLY ROOTS AS A BASE FOR ROCKY MOUNTAIN EXPLORERS , THROUGH THE BOOM OF THE GOLD RUSH AND FINALLY TO THE LIVELY, VIBRANT CITY IT IS TODAY.

EARLY SETTLERS

1807 The first European settlers arrived in the region, including David Thompson, a fur trader and map-making explorer, who crossed the Rocky Mountains to explore the area.

1863 Gold was discovered nearby, and the gold rush began. Some 5,000 men rushed to the region to pan and prosper.

1883 Col. James Baker bought most of the current townsite. Baker named his property “Cranbrook” after his home in Kent, England.

1887 Sam Steele, of the North West Mounted Police arrived to address conflicts between Col. James Baker and the Ktunaxa people.

1898 A typhoid outbreak prompted the community to build the first hospital at St. Eugene Mission. The hospital was outgrown, built again and then one more time outgrown before relocating in 1901 to a larger facility in Cranbrook, also renamed the St. Eugene Mission.

1905 Cranbrook was incorporated as a city, with a population of 2000. It had water, a sewer, and a telephone system built by local businessmen.

1940 The population of Cranbrook had grown to 3000. Few places in the world were untouched by the horrors of WW2, and Cranbrook pays tribute to its fallen heros on the Wall Of Honour in Rotary Park.

2022 Continued growth and development over the last century has meant that Cranbrook today is a vibrant modern city with a population of approximately 20,000.

THE ORIGINAL “CRANBROOK ARCHES” WERE BUILT DURING THE 1930’S AND STOOD AS AN ICONIC REFERENCE POINT. THEY WERE DEMOLISHED IN THE 1950S TO MAKE WAY FOR THE WIDENING OF HIGHWAY 3, BUT TODAY VISITORS CAN FIND A REPLICA OF THE ORIGINAL ARCHES AT THE WEST ENTRANCE TO CRANBROOK’S DOWNTOWN CORE.

1898 THE INTRODUCTION OF THE CPR PASSENGER TRAIN AT CRANBROOK STATION CAUSED A POPULATION BOOM.

History & heritage

ARCHITECTURE | MUSEUMS | IMMERSIVE

EXPERIENCES

CRANBROOK’S FASCINATING HERITAGE CAN BE DISCOVERED IN ITS BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED BUILDINGS, MUSEUMS, AND A LIVING HISTORICAL TOWN WHICH GIVES A UNIQUE INSIGHT INTO BYGONE DAYS.

Located on Highway 3/95, the CRANBROOK HISTORY CENTRE provides a fascinating insight into the history of rail travel and is a must-see for any train-enthusiast. Highlights of the railcar collection include the 1907 “Soo-Spokane Train” and the 1927 “Strathcona” which has accommodated VIP guests including Queen Elizabeth II and Sir Winston Churchill.

Widely considered to be the most elegant public venue in southeastern BC, inside the history centre you can see the beautiful ROYAL ALEXANDRA HALL that began its life in Winnipeg in 1906. When the hotel was demolished in 1971, its ballroom was carefully disassembled and stored until it was acquired by the Cranbrook History Centre, reconstructed and then reopened in Cranbrook in 2004. You can learn about Cranbrook’s history, natural history and local paleontology through the exhibits. For kids, the Centre offers as scavenger hunt throughout the exhibit spaces and a game

of eye-spy in the impressive model train display. The history centre also hosts monthly lectures and seasonal programmes, such as summer walking tours and games.

Located at 11-11th Avenue South, the STUDIO & STAGE DOOR was built in 1909, and originally served as Cranbrook Freemason’s Masonic Lodge, and is now home to Cranbrook Community Theatre.

Just down from the Studio & Stage Door, you’ll find FIRE HALL NO.1 Cranbrook’s original fire hall was established in 1929 and served the City until 2011.

“ SINCE IT WAS WITHIN THE ST. EUGENE MISSION SCHOOL THAT THE CULTURE OF THE KOOTENAY INDIAN WAS TAKEN AWAY, IT SHOULD BE WITHIN THAT BUILDING THAT IT IS RETURNED.” – ELDER MARY PAUL, 1984

In 2017, two friends transformed the dilapidated old fire hall into a unique craft beer tap house and gastropub, injecting life back into the old building while remaining sensitive to its heritage.

Established in 1910 and originally named the Kootenay Indian Residential School, the ST. EUGENE MISSION holds a dark history for the Ktunaxa people. The only project in Canada where an icon of such repression has been transformed into an ambitious and successful economic venture, the renovated old mission is now the St Eugene Golf Resort and Casino. The project has preserved wonderful original architectural features, and simultaneously recognizes the sad and difficult cultural legacy and shining future potential of the site.

Since its gold rush beginnings in 1864, FORT STEELE has gone from boomtown to regional centre, to ghost town, to one of the most important heritage attractions of its kind in British Columbia.

In 1961, after a public petition to the Provincial Government, Fort Steele was declared an historic park with a mandate “to preserve, present, and manage for public benefit the historic settlement of Fort Steele”.

Perched on the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains, Fort Steele is a dynamic living history museum, and attracts over 80,000 visitors a year to witness first hand what life was like in days gone by.

WITH THE SHEER ABUNDANCE OF LOCAL LAKES AND RIVERS, IT COULDN’T BE EASIER TO ENJOY THE WATER LIFESTYLE IN THIS STUNNING REGION.

Choose from cliff jumping in glacial springs, swimming in warm lakes, paddling leisurely along meandering rivers or full-on white water rafting.

The good news is, that in the height of the summer sun, you don’t even have to leave town to get wet. Grab an ice cream and head to your choice of spray parks; located in downtown Cranbrook at Rotary Park, or the Kinsmen Spray Park near the College of the Rockies. You can also MAKE A SPLASH at the waterslide, rope swing, hot tub, sauna and steam room at Cranbrook’s Western Financial Place.

If a leisurely KAYAK OR PADDLEBOARD exploration is more your style, there is an abundance of choice waiting for you. Wasa Lake is a large lake located north of Cranbrook, where you can enjoy vistas of alpine forests and mountain peaks whilst chilling on the beach or exploring on a paddleboard.

For camping, kayaking, non-motorised boat launch and excellent fishing all in one stunning location, check out Norbury and Peckham’s Lakes located in the Fort Steele area.

As well as an INCREDIBLE SELECTION OF HOUSEBOATS to choose from, Sunshine Houseboat Vacations on Lake Koocanusa offers paddle boards or sport boats to rent, or you can enjoy a day out at their inflatable, family friendly water park on the lake.

For a faster pace and high octane boating, tubing water skiing, and wakesurfing, take your pick from Moyie, Koocanusa or Tie Lake to get your speed fix. Love the idea of ADRENALINEPUMPING WATER SPORTS but never had a chance to try it? Treat yourself to a lesson at H20 School at Lake Koocanusa.

For an unforgettable WHITE WATER RAFTING experience Kootenay Rafting Co. will give you a day to remember on the St. Mary River. Want to join Just Liquid Sports on one of their community paddle nights? Everything you need is available to rent, from paddle boards to kayaks.

LOVE WINTER? CRANBROOK IS THE IDEAL BASECAMP FOR A SNOWY ADVENTURE. WHETHER YOU ARE SEEKING THRILLS ON A SNOWMOBILE OR LOOKING TO SASHAY YOUR SKIS THROUGH AN IMMACULATELY GROOMED GLADE.

Just 25 minutes from Cranbrook, in the PURCELL RANGE, KIMBERLEY features North America’s largest gladed area, 1800 acres of terrain and 80 named runs. Receiving an annual snowfall of 4 metres/13 feet of fluffy champagne snow, the opportunities for winter fun are endless.

60 minutes east of Cranbrook and known for its epic powder, vast peaks and 2500 acres of skiable terrain, FERNIE REALLY PACKS A PUNCH . With up to 37 feet of snow per season, 142 named runs, 5 alpine bowls, state-of-the-art snowmaking and grooming equipment, and an exceptional beginners area, Fernie is a true winter playground for skiers and boarders of all levels.

Lumberton is Cranbrook’s go-to SNOWMOBILING destination, offering over 50 kilometres of immaculately groomed trails. Riders can explore deep powder, winding forest routes, and wide-open alpine terrain, all within easy reach of town.

If you travel south of Cranbrook you will find the glorious South Star trails which wind their way through snow-covered stands of western larch and lodgepole pine. The non-motorised, IMMACULATELY GROOMED TRAILS cover more than 50km.

The South Star Recreation Society maintains the trails through countless volunteer hours of designing, fundraising and constructing the fantastic facilities for all users.

SNOWSHOEING trails can be found within the city and all around the greater Cranbrook area.
