- 1963-1965
The fonds consists of pictograph drawings (and accompanying explanatory narratives) about the signing of Treaty 7; how Crowfoot got his name; Low Horn's power ca. 1870s; Scraping Hide's murder of a stockman at Gleichen and his subsequent death, 1896; and Wolf Collar's war experiences. Also consists of a recording of Blackfoot songs including Crowfoot's songs, Wolf Collar's war songs, and dog feast songs.
The drawing of the events at Blackfoot Crossing in 1877 when Treaty 7 was signed is annotated on the back:
"Lower left - Crowfoot's camp. Crowfoot leaving in wagon with NWMP escort.
Upper left - Medicine Shield's camp. Medicine Shield was ready to accept treaty (man in circle at lower right) but Crowfoot held him off until he had decided.
Top left - NWMP with cannons. Between flags, left to right, are Col. Macleod, Gov. Laird, Crowfoot and an NWMP sergeant (name forgotten). In front, Indian chiefs who have come (see lines) to sign.
Other camps along Bow River, left to right, are Bloods, Peigans, Sarcees and Stonies."
