Lethbridge - Indian Battle Park and Fort Whoop-Up Interpretive Centre

Indian Battle Park on the Oldman River commemorates the great Indian battle in 1870 between the Blackfoot Confederation and the Cree Indians, when an attack by the Cree with their allies the Assiniboine on the camp of the Blackfoot, already weakened by an outbreak of smallpox, was repulsed but at the cost of almost 400 lives.
