It was treaty No. 7, the one that brought peace to the great plains and threw open a new empire for settle- ment. The historic document was signed on the banks of the Bow River just east of Calgary and near the Canadian Paeifio Railway station of Cluny. It is, possibly, a greater tribute to the red men than to his white brothers that the terms of the treaty has been lived up to in every detail, On September 22, 1927, the fiftieth anniversary of the memorable occa- sion, hundreds of people from all walks of life, representatives of Various tribes of Indians and officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police gathered at the historic snot for an impressive memorial service where a cairn and tablet had boon erected. Mrs. James F. Macleod, widow of the late Colonel Macleod, commissioner of the old Royal North West Mounted Police, unveiled the tablet. It was Colonel Ma(Lood who was successful in securing the signing of the treaty 50 years ago. The cairn containing the tablet is in close proximity to the grave of Chief Crow- foot, who in signing the treaty dung open the great plains for settlement, peaceful settlement, by the white:. Mrs. Macleod and her see Norman placed wreaths on the nearby grave. 5tonvs, Creos, .P,lrtekfset, I'et(ars and Sarcees were represented by chiefs at the ceremony. Hon. R, 13.
