Banff, Alberta. Highly commercialized museum near DT Banff. The portraits have the typical stereotypical features of the Natives with a Rain Dance exhibition included. Buffalo museum is broken up into three main rooms. Fourth room for a small conference with a tv and all that is included but did not seem to be used. The middle stage is an auditorium with soothing music, sometimes live but mostly synthetic. The museum was preparing to stage an event during my September visit. One wing is dedicated to artifacts, placards and information. Good portion is dedicated foregone leaders/chieftans, lifestyle and relationship with settlers. The other flank is dedicated to plastic statues and taxidermy animals. This section is a bit gimmicky with what I believe to be exaggerated depictions including the rain dance that may appear violently offensive to some. Access/Roads: Paved. Parking: Free and Plenty. Costs: $10 USD per. Distance: East of Banff is Calgary at appx 130 KM (100 miles). West is Vancouver at appx 900 KM (600 miles). South is USA and Los Angeles is appx 1,700 miles out. North is mountains, snow, ice, bears and the such. Nearby Attractions: The Canadian Rocky Mountain Range including Jasper and Alaska. The Rocky Mountain Range, whether Canada, Colorado or Montana has enough stuff to do, experience, and live for multiple lifetimes. Safe traveling my friends. www.cleeshyun.com @cigarcpa read more
