The fort was well worth the entrance fee...a well presented history of the First Nation lifestyle...lots of authentic artefacts

The artifacts from the area indigenous population are specatular. They really need some repairs to this building and upkeep to preserve this history. If this space is cared for by the Buffalo Nations, they should realize the importance to their heritage and put more value into it's upkeep.

This museum as noted elsewhere should be better known, as a museum dedicated to the First Nations people's its excellent. Many interesting exhibits laid out inside what from the outside looks like a Wild West fort. Animals and their relationship to the First Nations people's, their tools and equipment and a good account of how they lived and still exist as a nation within a nation.
There is an area inside for drinks and snacks, but the store is a little poorly represented, of course 100 yards away is the buffalo nations trading post so I suppose the museum can be forgiven for being poorly equipped, but I would have prefered to buy on site, and assist when they don't appear to get as many visitors as the site deserves.

This museum was our most pleasant surprise about Banff. Its very well laid out and we learned a great deal about the Buffalo Nations. I wish it were more publicized as there weren't many people there. They have a good thing going.
