Most of the film ''
Buffalo Bill and the Indians, or Sitting Bull's History Lesson'' was shot on location on the reserve. Frank "Sitting Wind" Kaquitts, who played
Sitting Bull in the film, had been elected the first ever chief of Alberta's Nakoda (Stoney) First Nation, after three bands had amalgamated the year before.
Kevin Costner's
Open Range was also filmed on the reserve. The film
Little Big Man starring
Dustin Hoffman and
Chief Dan George was shot here also, and the first screening was held in Calgary so the tribe could attend. The Stoney Reserve was badly damaged by a massive
flood in June 2013 and hundreds of residents were evacuated from their homes. ==See also==
