Tsuu T’ina Nation’s home, on the southwest edge of Calgary, has an interesting history.
The Tsuu T’ina were originally given one reserve to share with the Siksika and Kainai. The Tsuu T’ina weren’t pleased with having to share with the Siksika. They continued their nomadic lifestyle rather than settling on the reserve.
But when the buffalo died out, the starving Tsuu T’ina began camping near Fort Calgary. The North West Mounted Police proved to be friendly, assisting them whenever possible.

Unhappy with the shared reserve situation, the Tsuu T’ina managed to persuade the government to sign a new treaty, giving them the reserve they have today.
The Tsuu T’ina own and operate several companies, including The Redwood Meadows Golf & Country Club at Bragg Creek, Alberta. In late 2007, the Grey Eagle Casino opened on Tsuu T’ina land.
