The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland

Visited as part of a school field trip, the staff did a great job keeping the kids busy and engaged while teaching them about our local history. The practice archeology bins were a hit with the students and taught them to think critically about the artifacts they uncovered. The indigenous games gave everyone a chance to connect with the kinds of activities that people their age would have done centuries ago. The scavenger hunt through the museum was a great way to ensure the students examined every nook and cranny of the exhibits. We will be sure to visit again when the upgrades are complete!

The historic house wasn’t very big, and when we visited, it was quite crowded due to a festival. It was interesting to see, but definitely not something you’d spend a lot of time in. Parking was available but quite expensive. There’s a lovely park right next to it, which made the visit more enjoyable. The area is nice for a short walk and some photos. It’s a decent place to visit once if you’re nearby. Overall, a one-time experience—not something I’d return to.

I recently went on a private trip with students that turned out to be an incredible experience. We had the opportunity to explore significant historical sites, uncovering captivating narratives that underscored the links between our past and present. This journey deepened our understanding of the region's heritage. Throughout the trip, the knowledgeable workers were helpful, answering our questions and enriching our experience.

After 20 years, The Confluence finally got an indigenous art exhibition curator, Star Crop Eared Wolf, for the opening of Kípaitápiiyssinnooni [Our Way of Life]. When we visited the space for the art opening, it was quite exciting to see the different works of art on display. The film showing during the weekday was also very thoughtful-- I wish more people would come and watch! The only points of improvement for me would be the following: 1. Food vendors (I had 4 hungry kids with me and they kept bugging me to leave so we can go grab proper meals, which were not available on site); and 2. Paving the gravel parking lot a bit more because holy cow, those things destroyed my stiletto heels when I had to run to my car whilst hail was pummeling the ground Overall, it's an amazing venue for cultural experiences but make sure you have a big meal prior to the visit. Cheers!

Went there on Canaday Day. Free admission and exhibits. Lots to read in description of exhibits which was tiresome for me so i enjoyed the vibe only and cool stalls outside.

I love how The Confluence is growing with the times by adhering to the 94 Calls to Action by the Truth and Reconciliation Council. Now you can see the permanent museum display to tell the stories of the Blackfoot peoples. This exhibit was led by numerous Blackfoot elders and leaders. Great job Confluence!!

Magnifique lieu et superbe expérience inoubliable ! À recommander, c'est incontournable !
