Northern Alberta Pioneers and Descendants Association
We're transforming, and you can join us!
NAPDA has, and continues to undergo immense changes. Our non-profit community programing is coming back! Our programming and events pages are dedicated to community connection and boosting other non-profits.
BISON LODGE - Branding and Name Change
We are committed to progressing Truth and Reconciliation while expanding our archives and data to portray a wholistic view of history. We owe the survival of many pioneers to the cooperative relationships with Indigenous communities. We owe the downfall of those relationships to unfair treatment, unjust governance, and uncapped greed. It is past due that we acknowledge and reflect that in our daily lives. Bison Lodge, better reflects a shared history, and the long standing beliefs of our association.
NAPDA is for everyone who is committed to community and making Edmonton a great home. Help us reach our goals of strengthening our community while creating meaningful progression in Truth and Reconciliation. Please see our membership page for more details of NAPDA's coming changes, and membership benefits.
"The preservation of the history of our region and the social and friendly relations of all its people."
