chief eddmontron was a Black foot chief. He lived to be 63 years old, for the black foot tribe, that was a very old age for a chief to live to. They called him, "Chief Old Eyes" and when he died they named fort Edmonton after him. It was really "eddmontron" but the british prenounced it "Edmonton". The black foot tribe told the British that the fort was very important to them, so in the black foot tribes honner, they named the capital of Alberta "Edmonton".
