'Unknown Blackfoot Warrior' receives ceremonial burial where the Old Man River meets the Belly River

 
CALGARY --
A skull that was determined to be a prehistoric, Indigenous person received a burial June 26, over 40 years after it was discovered in the waters of the Old Man River west of the Monarch bridge at Hwy 3A in southern Alberta.
That happened in 1979, when someone found a skull and turned it over to the Fort Macleod RCMP detachment.
In October, 1979, with the assistance of the University of Alberta's anthropology department, the skull was determined to be from a male over 60 years of age, and prehistoric – and therefore Indigenous – in origin.
Fort Macleod RCMP returned the skull to the finder for safekeeping, and that seemed to be the end of the story until 2017, when someone turned it in again to the local detachment.
