Aboriginal Culture - the Ktunaxa
IThe Ktunaxa or Kootenay Nation have lived
in the Kootenay and upper Columbia watersheds for thousands of years.
These people lived together with earths natural habitat. They believe
that one of the most important things in life is to respect nature and
to look after our environment.
Scientists tell us that the Ktunaxa people
have lived in the Rocky Mountain area for 14 000 years. But, the people
of the Ktunaxa nation tell us that they can trace their roots back to
the beginning of time. They say that this was a time when humans and animals
were equals.
