The Sign of the Goat Curio Shop was owned and operated by Norman Luxton from 1902. Luxton moved the shop to Banff from its original location on the Stoney Nakoda reserve in Morley around 1904. Items originally sold at the shop included taxidermy, postcards and handmade Stoney Nakoda souvenirs. The shop has remained in business for over a century, and is now referred to as the Banff Indian Trading Post.
