Fort Whoop-Up is a nearly exact replica of the original whisky fort that served as a trading centre for during the late-1800s. American traders fled laws prohibiting trading whisky for buffalo robes in Montana, and set up their illegal trade in Canadian territories. The illegal whisky trade decimated the buffalo population and dramatically impacted the traditional diet and ways of life on the Blackfoot tribes in the region. Ultimately, the traders at Fort Whoop-Up and their illegal activities prompted the formation of the North-West Mounted Police.
