The Banff Trading Post on Birch Ave near the Luxton Museum is one of the few retail operations in Banff that treats Indigenous art and craft as a serious category rather than a souvenir subcategory. The jewellery, beadwork, and craft items are sourced from Indigenous makers and the provenance is tracked in a way that distinguishes genuine work from the mass-produced approximations common on Banff Ave.
The selection changes as new work comes in. Worth visiting early in your trip before buying anything that purports to be Indigenous craft elsewhere in town.
