Battle of the Belly River
The last major battle between First Nations on Canadian soil was fought on October 25, 1870, within present-day Lethbridge, where Blackfoot and Piikani warriors routed a Cree-led war party of 600-800 along the Belly (Oldman) River; hundreds of Cree died in the retreat, and the nations made peace soon after.

Compiled from Wikidata, whose data is released under CC0. Every entry links its Wikipedia article so you can check it. Nothing here is written by AI — each line is the label, description and date Wikidata holds, in a fixed format. That also means the coverage is Wikidata's: it leans heavily towards people with Wikipedia articles, and towards hockey. Alberta history is much larger than this page, which is why most days have no recorded event to lead with and the page says so rather than filling the space. Where a day opens with a highlighted entry above the timeline, that is a curated item: written, sourced to the page it links, and approved before it appeared here.
