Events Description
What does Alberta separatism look like when we stop looking at Alberta only through a colonial lens?
As the province heads toward a referendum on separation, the question of who Alberta belongs to — and what its borders mean — will be everywhere. But there is a much older story underneath that question.
At this installment of Hot Dogs & Hot Takes on History, Ryan Crosschild invites us to explore the Blackfoot understandings of territory, boundaries, and belonging as questions about the province’s future intensify. Rather than beginning with Alberta or with the narratives about separation dominating public debate, it begins with a much older reality: before Alberta, before Treaty 7, this was Blackfoot country. It asks what Blackfoot ways of knowing can teach us about territory and treaty, how jurisdiction and care are carried through relationships to place, and what it means for different peoples to live together in good relations across difference.
Come for the hot dogs, stay for a conversation that asks whether we’re even asking the right questions about where Alberta begins, where it ends, and who gets to decide.
