In this age of Indigenous reconciliation, it is important to remember the Indigenous movers and shakers who have gone before and cleared the path for others. James Gladstone (1887-1971) was such an Indigenous person. In the Blackfoot language, he was known as Akay-na-muka, meaning “Many Guns.” He was born in Mountain Hill, Northwest Territories. This community was near the Kainai reserve, as at the time the Northwest Territories included the territory of Alberta.
