   Canadian inter-tribal conflicts

   From: zendorian9@gmail.com   
      
   My research on Canadian Indian conflicts in the 19th century suggests that   
   conflict between tribes was more severe than with the Europeans (expect for   
   the second Metis rebellion). In particular, the conflicts between the   
   Blackfoot and Cree tribes were    
   especially large scale, with the last major battle occurring at Belly River in   
   1870.   
      
   Another notable battle occurred at Cypress Hills in 1867, in which a mixed   
   group of Crows and other Native American groups were surprised by Blackfoot,   
   resulting in a massacre.   
      
   1) Are these battle sites open to the public for those interested in touring   
   battle fields? Or are these locations all now on private property?   
      
   2)There must have been significant conflict amongst Canadian tribes in the   
   Canadian Rockies as well.   
   Does anyone have any information concerning Canadian inter-tribal conflicts   
   within the Canadian Rockies?
