On Friday, the Calgary Board of Education announced the new school will be known as North Trail High School.
“The north trail includes the trails used by the Siksika and honours the warriors and ancestors,” CBE said of the information the Elder shared. “Warriors would travel this trail to prepare for new birth . The trail may also have been used by the Cree to enter Blackfoot territory to negotiate treaties and possibly trade.”Story continues below advertisement
The Elder noted the area may have once been a place for harvesting tobacco, traditional medicines, saskatoon berries and chokecherries. The school is anticipated to open for the upcoming school year to Grades 10 and 11, and will expand to include Grade 12 the following year.
