History
Create Reservation
At the beginning of the migration of the Sarsi to the north of the Great Plains , very friendly relations were established between them and the black-footed ones, they became closest to the Saints and Siksiks .
In mid-September 1877, representatives of the Canadian government arrived to conclude an agreement with the peoples of the Canadian prairies , from the tribes were present - Sarsi, Siksiks, Kaina, Northern Piegans and Stony . The Indians set out the terms of the proposed treaty - they had to allow whites to live in their territories, in return they would be allocated reservations and assisted in farming. [1] The leader of the Sarsi, the Bull Head, did not make any special demands, as a result of negotiations of the tribe, territory near the city of Calgary was granted.
Ring Road
The proximity of the reservation to the city of Calgary has led to a dispute over the latter’s plans to build a western allotment of the ring road through the Sarsi so as not to affect environmentally sensitive areas. A referendum held in the tribe in 2009 led to the rejection of the road construction plan. On the other hand, the tribe’s plans to build a casino in the immediate vicinity of the city caused discontent among the citizens, who were worried about the possibility of increasing traffic in this part of the city.
In 2011, negotiations on the location of the highway resumed. On October 24, 2013, a new referendum took place at which most members of the tribe supported the new ring road agreement.
Vandalism against the tribe
In 2013, the banner of the tribe was stolen from the residence of the head of the city of Redwood-Meadows, located on the territory of the reservation. A vandalized flag was later discovered by the mayor, John Welch, on his lawn. [2]
