This paper examines the life of William Twin (c. 1860–1940), a member of the Nakoda (or Stoney) First Nation, and pays particular attention to his connection with Banff National Park and role in facilitating the tourism empire that still flourishes there. Being careful to distinguish between who William Twin was and how he was imagined to be, this paper argues that his life story has at least two aspects: William as an ‘institution’ useful to the development of Banff National Park, and William as a person who enjoyed sustained and very personal interactions with both Stoney and Euro-Canadian communities (abstract)
