ABOUT CHIEF WALKING EAGLE
We take our unusual name from the famous Chief Walking Eagle, a local Stoney First Nation chief who was internationally known for predicting the weather.
He was brought to world-wide attention by the editor of the local newspaper. She recognized his uncanny ability to accurately predict the severity of the coming winters. As the editor was also a correspondent for the major dailies in Calgary and Edmonton, her accounts of Chief Walking Eagle's predictions went to a much wider audience than just the local residents, and were published from Vancouver to Halifax. In November 1960 Time Magazine published an article about our Chief.
A man of simple tastes, he lived most of his life on the land, working hard to provide for his 7 children. His weather predictions were based on nature, the fur bearing animals, time and patterns of migration, and many other signs.
The Walking Eagle Inn & Lodge is proud to bear the name of this prominent citizen. Chief Walking Eagle passed away in 1965 at the age of 82. His portrait graces our lobby today as a daily reminder to embrace and protect the beautiful lands we are so fortunate to live on.
