Old Forts Trail, Southern Alberta

Sections of the ancient trails that were travelled by the First Peoples of North America are still visible and preserved for enjoyment today. The Old Forts Trail has been maintained throughout Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan, as they were last used. Those portions of the trail that still exist were extended from the width that was required by people travelling in single file, to the two pathways that allowed the Métis carts and wagons and those of the traders and police.

While we obviously disagree on the voting question, this is not something that bothers me as I know that I stand with most Natives in my views (check the statistics). I have no problem being disagreed with in public and critiqued from a reasoned perspective. It’s a part of being in politics.
