Elbow River

But you know what I don't forget to bring whenever I go picnicking? When I go on a picnic, I always bring my radio.

And I keep it tuned to 90.9 FM, CJSW, broadcasting out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Tree 7 Territory, Mokinsis, where the Bow River and the Elbow River meet.

Now, I might be hungry, and my picnic might just be a basket that is empty, but at least I've got some good tunes to keep me company.

And now, so do you.

We're broadcasting to you on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region here in southern Alberta, which include Métis Districts 5 and 6.

This place has known many names throughout its history, including Guchismpaa Wayaade, the Stoney Nakoda word for elbow, where the Bow and Elbow Rivers meet.

Currently in Calgary, we're sitting at plus two degrees Celsius under clear skies and a wind of thirteen kilometers per hour out of the southwest after our first snow of the season over the weekend.

Some very pleasant autumnal weather, though, for the week ahead.

That includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut'ina, the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bears Paw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.

This area is situated in a place that the Blackfoot tribes rec- referred to as Mohkinstsis, and that is where the Bow River meets the Elbow River.

We now call it the City of Calgary, and it's also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.

Thanks, Bryce.
