The Stonies of Alberta : an illustrated heritage of genesis, myths, legends, folklore and wisdom of Yahey Wichastabi, the people-who-cook-with- hot-stones
Pertains to the history and movement of Indigenous Peoples into the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Written through a colonial perspective, author Jon Whyte offers his insight into Indigenous culture and the ways in which settlers were dependent on traditional Indigenous knowledge upon their arrival in North America. The book follows the migration of Indigenous Peoples into the valley of the Rocky Mountains.
Pertains to the 1986 publication outlining the programs planned to be implemented in an effort to address the specific needs of the Stoney Indigenous People. Upon the implementation of natural gas on reserves, half of the revenue was split among their people, while the other half was used for program development. The areas to be addressed were as follows, education, land purchases, human services, housing, business enterprises in the community, recreation, culture and the Sacred Fire. The publication describes the ways in which the Stoney Tribal Administration hopes to better each area of concern, and implement programs to better the lives of Stoney People.

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)
