Prince Albert National Park was established without consultation with First Nations people, similar to other national and provincial parks.
The Indigenous settlement at the narrows was destroyed and the people who lived within the park were sent to the Montreal Lake First nation and Indigenous hunters from various First Nations were prevented from using their traditional territory.
A few years earlier, Grey Owl was a conservation officer at Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba after the local Ojibway people were forced out. The history of Canadian national parks revolves around the settler myth that Canada was an empty land, and they could do with it as they pleased. The Cypress Hills were a gathering place for centuries and Cree, Blackfoot and Nakota peoples would spend the winter there in peace. It was seen as international land, not the territory of any single First Nation.
