This Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) experience is an extended tour designed to educate visitors in a more in-depth fashion about the culture of the Niitsitapi peoples. The Niitsitapi have been practicing their traditions in what are now the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as areas of Montana, for generations before the arrival of Europeans and the construction of Fort Whoop-Up. With this experiential tour, we hope to provide insight into these Niitsitapi traditions and practices through multiple activities, stories, and interpretations from our Indigenous interpreters.

Our Michif experience is designed to immerse visitors in how Métis people and culture influenced the fort and southern Alberta. Southern Alberta is part of the traditional homeland of the Métis. Many Métis travelled west on Buffalo Hunts and were instrumental in the fur trade, and as such many made southern Alberta their home. The Métis were very involved in the building of Fort Whoop-Up, and to this day, many Métis continue to live in southern Alberta. This experiential tour will provide a glimpse into Métis culture and life in southern Alberta.

The world’s first postcolonial theme park is visiting Blackfoot Territory! Enjoy rideable artworks such as Experience the White Cube, Bike-Go-Round, and the mestizXXX virtual coaster! Envision the present-future-past at LandBackLand! Witness in person The Last White Tyler and have your postcolonial fortune told! All these wonders, refreshments, and much more await you at -tzintlán, “Where the Bottom Comes on the Top!”

-tzintlán is a creative take-over of the Fort Whoop-Up replica (aka The Fauxort) which humorously questions how we understand history and place. This temporary collaborative artspace features works by participants in the University of Lethbridge LandMarks course (Spring 2023), as well as thesis works from graduate students in the Faculty of Fine Arts. Using tropes from themed environments such as carnivals, theme parks, and museums, -tzintlán asks: What stories have been buried by history? How do imaginaries shape our relationship to place? And, how do we escape the fort in our minds?

Entrance is free
