Netook

Netook is a place in the parkland of central Alberta, where the open plains meet wooded country near the foothills. Its name is connected with a Blackfoot expression for a lone pine tree. The region lies between the Bow and Red Deer river systems, in a landscape travelled by Indigenous peoples following seasonal resources and bison herds. Scattered groves and waterways interrupt the grassland as the land rises toward the mountains to the west.
