Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum

The Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum in Banff, Alberta, is an Indigenous history and cultural museum devoted to Northern Plains and Rocky Mountain cultures, especially the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Īyãhé Nakoda Nations, and the Tsuut’ina Nation. Founded from Norman Luxton’s collection with help from Eric Harvie, it was built beginning in 1950 and opened in June 1953. After passing from the Glenbow-Alberta Institute to the Buffalo Nations Cultural Society in 1992, it continued to grow as both a museum and a place of cultural teaching through exhibits, tours, ceremonies, classes, workshops, and annual public events that connect Banff with living First Nations traditions.
